ABC News veteran weatherman Rob Marciano has been fired, according to sources familiar with the matter. This comes a year after Marciano was temporarily sidelined due to "anger management issues," the sources revealed.

Marciano, who had a longstanding presence on "Good Morning America" and "World News Tonight" for over a decade, faced public scrutiny last year regarding his behavior. In March 2023, Page Six reported that Marciano was temporarily banned from "GMA's" Times Square Studios after making a colleague feel uncomfortable. Although the exact details of his inappropriate actions remain undisclosed, ABC News took action and suspended him.

Insiders disclosed that Marciano's ban was a result of certain improper behavior. While he was later allowed to return to his duties, he remained under observation. The network has not clarified the precise reason behind his firing on Tuesday, and declined to provide any comments on the matter.

Sources indicated that Marciano had been dealing with anger management issues during his divorce, which may have contributed to his alleged misconduct at the workplace. A second source claimed that Marciano's behavior had made others feel uncomfortable on multiple occasions, citing incidents of crankiness and unsavory behavior.

Marciano was recently shifted to ABC News' "World News Tonight" while also making appearances on "GMA." However, it appears that his past behavior has ultimately led to severing ties with the network.

The termination of Rob Marciano marks the end of his long tenure as an ABC News weatherman. With the exact details of his misconduct still undisclosed, it remains uncertain what lies ahead for his future career endeavors.
