Kelly was my go-to weather person in RI. Now there are none I trust.

Please bring Kelly Bates back! She deserves better treatment than what Sinclair has offered, I’ve been a dedicated viewer for 40+ years but will chose to watch another local TV station.

Bad mistake Ch 10/Sinclair. Im sure you caved as many spineless people in ngt do and tow the company line. Odd that she brought you strong viewership, loyalty and even a Best of award..Whats the average age of the women on your newscast? I hope youre ready to be lambasted in the media and lose thousands of viewers. Keep up the great work!! I sense CH12 will get 60-70% of your viewership.

We've watched WJAR since we moved to MA over 40+ years ago. We've noticed the changes instituted since Sinclair took ownership. We found it offensive when pro-Trump/extremely conservative programs started. This latest demoting and now firing of Kelly Bates is the last straw. We are changing to another channel for our news. Shame on you Sinclair Broadcasting. Clearly you haven't learned.

Bad move guys

Please offer Kelly her job back.
Maybe Kelly should be speaking to a lawyer.
Bring Kelly back!
Bye bye 10
