Why Was Rob Marciano Fired From ABC? Good Morning America Meteorologist Exits Show After 10 Years
While there has been no official comment from either Marciano or ABC, sources indicate that the decision to terminate his contract came after complaints of alleged inappropriate behavior surfaced.
Rob Marciano, a veteran ABC News weatherman, was fired on Tuesday, April 30, a year after temporarily getting pulled off the air for “anger management issues,” The New York Post reports, citing sources. Before his official departure, the meteorologist had been temporarily banned from GMA’s New York City studio, reportedly due to allegedly engaging in inappropriate behaviors. He, however, continued to report the weather from outside locations, per Page Six.
Neither Marciano nor ABC have made any official comments on the matter yet.

Marciano became ABC News’ senior meteorologist in July 2014 and has since been reporting the weather on Good Morning America. After appearing on GMA and World News Night for a decade, Marciano made headlines last year over complaints of alleged inappropriate behavior, following which the Cornell graduate was temporarily banned from the show's Times Square Studio.
“He was found to have done something…that was improper, but he was punished for it, and they still haven't let him return,” an insider told Page Six.
Marciano, 55, also reported the weather on ABC News’ digital and live streaming platforms, which shoots its content in another NY studio. As recently as Tuesday, the former weatherman had been sharing the company’s news content via his Instagram. 
The news of the reporter’s firing comes two years after his ex-wife of 11 years filed for divorce. Back then, Marciano told People that the couple had been going through a rough patch in their marriage.

“The last couple of years have been very difficult,” Marciano told the aforestated publication back then. “I didn't want this and tried to save the marriage, but we are sadly divorcing. My focus now is my kids.”
The former couple tied the knot in November 2010 and are parents to daughter Madelynn and son Mason, whom the two treated to a spring break trip to Disney in April.
