Former Good Morning America star Rob Marciano has made a dramatic return to television—this time on a competing network—just six months after his shocking dismissal from ABC.

At 56, the seasoned weatherman, known for his high-energy reporting and on-camera charisma, has officially joined the CBS Evening News, marking a bold new chapter in his broadcast career. Marciano was let go from GMA in April under controversial circumstances, sparking speculation about behind-the-scenes tensions at ABC. Now, with his move to CBS, industry insiders are calling it a “quiet comeback,” one that could reshape the primetime weather game. His sudden reappearance on a rival network has raised eyebrows and fueled chatter among fans and media circles alike, leaving many to wonder what really led to his departure—and what he might reveal next.

Marciano was let go from his position on ABC after 10 years of appearing on GMA and World News Tonight after it was reported multiple co-stars filed complaints about his behind-the-scenes behaviour.

According to New York Post, his exit reportedly had to do with “anger management issues”, which stemmed from his split with his ex-wife, Eryn, which was finalised in March 2023.

The pair had been married for 11 years and together they share two children.

Eryn filed for divorce from the star in 2021, with the ongoing legal battle occurring over the following two years.

The same month his divorced was finalised, he was temporarily barred from the GMA set in New York City over “making a female colleague uncomfortable”.

The sources did not share which colleague he made feel uncomfortable or what happened between Rob and them.

The meteorologist was then seen doing most of his weather reports from outside, or in a different state.

Despite his break-up from Eryn, she was seen earlier this month helping the star look at real estate in New York.
