Rob Marciano’s next chapter after GMA turmoil: former ABC weather star lands new role and puts family first

Rob Marciano’s television career has taken another major turn.

After a turbulent stretch that saw him pushed out of ABC News following reports of behind-the-scenes complaints and a studio ban at Good Morning America, the veteran meteorologist has moved on professionally — and is now working with CBS News. Reporting in late 2024 said Marciano had joined CBS as a senior national weather correspondent, marking his first major on-air role since his ABC exit.

Before that, Marciano’s final months at ABC had already been overshadowed by controversy. Page Six reported in 2023 that he had been barred from the GMA Times Square studio after an incident that allegedly made a staffer uncomfortable, while later reporting said ABC ultimately cut ties with him in April 2024 after years of complaints about his behavior. ABC confirmed at the time only that he was no longer with the network.

That makes one thing clear: the earlier social-media update about starting his 10th year at ABC and teasing a NatGeo project was not the current story. That Instagram post was from September 2023, months before his ABC departure, and outlets such as E! and TV Insider tied it to his reduced weekend schedule at the time, not to his life now.

What is happening now is simpler, and in some ways more surprising: Marciano has resurfaced at a rival network after one of the messiest exits in morning TV weather. His move to CBS signaled that, despite the ABC fallout, he was not done with broadcast news.

For viewers, the story is less about a quiet schedule tweak and more about a full professional reset.

He is no longer the ABC weather face trying to navigate life outside the GMA studio.

He is now a former ABC anchor rebuilding his on-air career elsewhere.

And after a year defined by reports of internal friction, off-camera complaints, and an abrupt network split, that may be the biggest change of all.
