MorningNews 1311 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Haha. So is he the new weekend meteorologist? The article mentions the current set up of the weekend weather spot but doesn't really say whether he'll fill the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5327 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 I would guess so, and let's face it. The 'senior' tag is merely a title. Ginger will still be weather editor/chief meteorologist/top dog. He being senior is about a meaningful as Dr. Jen Ashton's 'senior' title to Dr. Rich Besser's 'chief' position. All that aside, I like the pick. I always liked him on CNN, and always questioned the move to 'Entertainment Tonight'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Cecily Tynan tweeted a welcome to Rob Marciano for joining the GMA Weekend team. Since the WPVI meteorologists have been the most frequent subs, that kind of seals it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glimmer 240 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I wonder if this is in part to (eventually) transfer Zee into a larger non-weather role at ABC News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 143 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I wonder if this is in part to (eventually) transfer Zee into a larger non-weather role at ABC News. Why on Earth would they do that? Ginger loves weather. If they took her off weather, I have NO doubt she would leave. All this is, is ABC announcing who will do weather for GMA Weekends. Good choice in my opinion.

JoseRM303 169 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Good choice by ABC. I watched him a few times on ET and he never really seemed to fit in. He's more of the hard core news organization type rather then a tabloid entertainment/hollywood reporter type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TellyGenic 32 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Does this mean he's done at ET? -- Sorry, just read the link at top. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningNews 1311 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 More changes to the weekend. Bianna is leaving for a position at Yahoo!, Paula Faris is replacing her. https://twitter.com/ravisomaiya/status/490166032615886848 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 143 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I really hope this is it for people changes at ABC. I feel like they have been loosing people left and right recently. (Bianna, Bill Weir, Cynthia M., Diane, Josh, Sam) not to mention quite a few reporters. More changes to the weekend. Bianna is leaving for a position at Yahoo!, Paula Faris is replacing her. https://twitter.com/ravisomaiya/status/490166032615886848 Bianna was nothing really special to me, i liked her, just didn't love her. Paula is a great fit for the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought ABC News and Yahoo have some kind of relationship - maybe that's just for GMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
