ABC News Meteorologist Rob Marciano Exits The Network

After a decade with ABC News, meteorologist Marciano has parted ways with the network.

Sources familiar with the matter confirmed Marciano's departure to TheWrap but did not provide details on the circumstances.

However, previous reports by Page Six last year showed that Marciano was accused of making a colleague uncomfortable on set, which resulted in his ban from the "Good Morning America" studio. Despite his ban at the time, he continued contributing to other ABC News platforms, including "World News Tonight."

Sources revealed to the outlet that Marciano's ban from Times Square Studios followed an incident in which "he was found to have done something … that was improper, but he was punished for it, and they still haven't let him return."

The insider revealed that the network's actions in response to Marciano included a month-long hiatus from on-air appearances and total exclusion from the "GMA" studio by executive producer Simone Swink, who was described as a "no-nonsense" person who prioritizes keeping "[her staff] focused and happy."
