ABC News Fires Longtime Meteorologist Rob Marciano after Behavioral Issues

ABC News has officially parted ways with longtime meteorologist Rob Marciano after he was reportedly fired on Tuesday. Marciano, who spent a decade working on popular ABC News programs such as "Good Morning America" and "World News Tonight," was let go following alleged behavioral issues, according to sources.

The decision to terminate Marciano's contract comes a year after Page Six reported that he was banned from ABC News' Times Square Studios due to his behavior. Details surrounding the specific incident that led to the ban remain undisclosed, but sources have mentioned "anger management issues" and a series of alarming events.

Despite the recent development, representatives for both ABC News and Marciano have refrained from providing any comment or explanation regarding the situation.

It is worth noting that Marciano, 55, celebrated his 10th anniversary with ABC News in September, where he expressed excitement about continuing his journey with the network and spending quality time with his children on weekends. He also hinted at an upcoming project with NatGeo, which promised to explore fascinating subjects.

Throughout his tenure, Marciano covered various natural disasters, ranging from wildfires in Southern California to volcanic eruptions in Hawaii. Prior to joining ABC News in September 2014, he had worked for Entertainment Tonight and CNN.

Interestingly, Marciano's firing comes shortly after his most recent Instagram post, which showcased his on-the-field coverage of Louisiana residents' efforts to rebuild their community after devastating storms. However, the meteorologist did not address his termination in the post.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for both ABC News and Marciano. With his departure, the network will need to find a suitable replacement for the experienced meteorologist who has become a familiar face for viewers across the nation.

As of now, ABC News has remained tight-lipped about Marciano's dismissal, and it is unclear whether any further developments or statements will be made regarding the matter.
