Rob Marciano Steps Away From Good Morning America Weekend Edition — But Not ABC
Rob Marciano is getting his weekends back.
ABC‘s longtime meteorologist will no longer provide weather reports for Good Morning America‘s weekend editions, TVLine has learned. Somara Theodore, who joined ABC’s weather team last March, will formally fill that role, effective immediately. Ginger Zee remains ABC’s chief meteorologist.
An ABC News rep declined to comment, but a network source confirms to TVLine, “Our meteorology team has grown with ABC News’ increase in climate coverage, and, as a result, Somara Theodore mostly does weekends and Rob has mostly transitioned over time to weekdays.”
TVLine has reached out to Marciano’s camp for comment.
Marciano, who also regularly appears on ABC World News Tonight With David Muir, alluded to his tweaked workload at ABC News in an Instagram post on Tuesday. He also maintained that he is not leaving the network.
“This month marks the start of my 10th year with ABC News, and I couldn’t be more pumped to continue this journey with all of you,” Marciano wrote. “I always dreamed of working for this network as a kid, and my children are equally psyched that I will now be home most weekends! I’ll continue doing what I’m doing, contributing across all shows and platforms weekdays, while getting some solid quality time with my kiddos.
“My thanks to the bosses who listened and made this work-life balance possible,” he continued. “I’m also grateful for an exciting new project with NatGeo that has me exploring some very very cool stuff. More to come!”
He hasn’t been on GMA for nearly 2 years now! How is this now an official thing?
He most certainly has been on GMA. He never left. You must not watch very much.
Lol, I thought he had quite awhile ago because of….. issues with him being on set. So they’ve had “guest” weather people on the weekends.
He does. His contract is not being renewed.
They’ve already renewed his contract and he is now on GMA weekdays.
I had no idea Rob Marciano had a “camp”.
Congratulations on your new position and it’s always good to spend more time with your family.
We enjoy Rob’s weather reporting. Look forward to his National Geographic reporting!!
I’m sure having weekends free will be great!
Is he still going to be on with David? I hope so cause rob and David is the reason I watch during the week at. 6:30. I love them both. And I love listening to rob.
Wishes Rob the best whatever he does. Best with family and him.
Soo Glad to see more of Rob. Love him.
Bring back Sam Champion to GMA mornings. He was the best of all of them and had an infectious laugh.
Your a great meteorologist, always :-) always positive attitude thank you for that even in the darkest of times when floods and rain and everything is happening you always keep us calm and informed thank you thank you thank you
We will miss seeing you on the weekend! We loved and thought you should be top meteorologist at ABC. We wish you much success in your future endeavors!
I’m sorry to hear this news. Always been a fan of Robs but realize what a tough time he had through his divorce so happy for him to have more time with his children.
What? LOL
YOU realize what a tough time HE had going through HIS divorce ???!?!
Rob, I am real happy for you. Good luck.
Always hoped Ginger Zee would step down or move on to other things because I felt Rob should be ABC’s chief meterologist.
I still hope this happens for him.
Happy for Rob. He is a big part of the w weather team.
So glad we will continue to see Rob on ABC. He is the best! Love him.
Rob is one of the finest weather men we have seen. He presents the latest conditions with authority and intelligence. It is too bad that some over the top producer kept him away from the broadcasts. Certainly his contribution out weighted the producers, time to replace that one.
I have been an ABC network viewer since the early 1960’s
Take care pal we are watching you
Be best dad you were alwaysment to be to your kiddos Rob
Really enjoy Rob Marciano. Have been following his career for a long time. Great meteorologist. So informative. Always stays calm even in the craziest weather situations. And always easy on the eyes. Enjoy your time with your children. You deserve it.
It’s not the same without you, Rob. Miss you… but happy you can be home on weekends with your kids.
Please stay one Chanel 7 every day watching you telling us about the weather. Love to see you you are the best.
I really enjoyed Rob an awesome meteorologist. So happy for Rob to be off GMA and better himself. You deserved better. Good luck on your new endeavors. Enjoy you kiddos!!!
Good for you Rob Marciano for taking the time to comment on your role with ABC. I have missed seeing you ion the weekend show. I loved watching you and Skip Johnson but very happy I’ll see you on week days. You take care and stay safe. God bless you and family.
So glad for Rob Marciano! Love watching him.
So happy to see you back and in good graces with the powers that be. To us it went way overboard. Alt least we’re happy your back with the network and now doing other projects. Best of wishes. Many Blessings.
Glad you are stay with ABC but your family needs you home yo spend time with them. Always enjoy watching you. The best as always
I really enjoy watching Rob’s weather reports. I was very unhappy when they removed him from GMA weekdays as a punishment. I’m glad he didn’t leave the network but I’m sad they treated him as they did. Hang in there Rob, the best is yet to come!
