Who Is Rob Marciano? 5 Things to Know About Meteorologist Fired From ABC

Rob Marciano’s tenure with ABC News came to an end when the meteorologist was reportedly fired after a decade with the network.

According to an April 30 report from Puck News, the weatherman, who delivered forecasts for World News Tonight and Good Morning America’s weekend edition throughout his tenure, was let go after “multiple staffers had made complaints about Marciano’s behavior over the years.”

At the time of publication, ABC News had no comment.

Marciano’s exit came one year after Page Six reported in March 2023 that the news reporter had been “improper” with a colleague. At the time, a source told the outlet that GMA executive producer Simone Swink made the decision to bar Marciano from the Times Square set in NYC after he made people feel “uncomfortable.”

“She’s no-nonsense and is very serious,” the insider said. “She’s focused on the work and wants to keep [her staff] focused and happy. She’s very protective of her team.”

Despite stepping away from his GMA weekend gig, Marciano continued to contribute to ABC’s news programs, including Worlds News Tonight. In September 2023, he celebrated his 10-year anniversary with the network.

“I couldn’t be more pumped to continue this journey with all of you,” Marciano wrote via Instagram at the time. “My thanks to the bosses who listened and made this work-life balance possible. I’m also grateful for an exciting new project with NatGeo that has me exploring some very very cool stuff… more to come!”

He added that the shift in programming would allow him to spend more time with his children: daughter Madelynn, 12, and son Mason, 6, whom he shares with ex-wife Eryn Marciano.

"I always dreamed of working for this network as a kid, and my children are equally psyched that I will now be home most weekends!” he said. "I'll continue doing what I'm doing, contributing across all shows and platforms Mon-Fri, while getting more quality time with my kiddos."
