Veteran ABC News meteorologist Rob Marciano has been terminated following complaints about his behavior, sources report. The dismissal comes after Marciano was reportedly barred from the Times Square studios a year prior due to an incident.
Marciano, who joined ABC News in 2014, had been a fixture on “Good Morning America” and other ABC broadcasts, providing weather updates and covering major weather events. Prior to ABC, he worked at CNN and local news stations.
While ABC News has not officially commented on the specific reasons for Marciano’s departure, reports suggest a pattern of behavioral issues led to his termination. These issues allegedly created an uncomfortable work environment, prompting multiple complaints to HR.
The news of Marciano’s firing has circulated quickly within ABC News, leaving many surprised and prompting discussions about workplace conduct and accountability. The network has yet to announce a replacement for Marciano on its weather team. This incident underscores the increasing scrutiny of workplace behavior in the media industry and the potential consequences for misconduct. Marciano has not yet publicly commented on the situation. His profile has been removed from ABC News’ website. His last on-air appearance was reportedly in late April.
