High Profile ABC News Personality Fired After Years Of Tantrums
There's nothing like a good U.S. TV network scandal to get people talking. And they're talking about a lot more than the weather as ABC meteorologist Rob Marciano was officially terminated from the network, after years of eyebrow-raising behaviour. Some may remember Marciano from his time on Good Morning America and his most recent work, covering the tornadoes in the U.S mid-west for ABC's World News Tonight.
But the latest storm came inside the studio, where Marciano is accused of getting into a huge argument with another staffer - not for the first time. And it was a fellow weather person who reported him to management.
It's one of those rare broadcast disputes that has become embarrassingly public, with the network hoping - like those tornadoes - will soon blow over.

Reading multiple stories, I wonder if the atmosphere was more complicated than simply one person being off the rails. Maybe there's a leadership problem.

I've been reading stories about Mr. Marciano for years. I think this was the only way it was going to end.

This weatherman really blew it.
I guess nobody tried to rain him in until now.
But that might be clouding the issue.
But he sure failed to read the barometer on his career.
Also in that vane....
I know I've reached a new low.

You'd think he would have known which way the wind was blowing.

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.

I can see clearly now. Blame it on the rain. It was the eye of the storm. He was obviously going against the wind. So the big boss man came down and said rock you like a hurricane.

Apparently he didn't have the foggiest idea of what was to come.

This may have been the last straw for the woman who oversaw the troubled news division.
