Disgraceful and despicable for the network to do this!

Will miss her personality. Kelly was always accurate with her forecast. This station has been going down hill since Sinclair took over! I'm done. Remember Gary?

I am shocked and disappointed to hear that Kelly Bates is no longer with Channel 10 NBC. Kelly has brought a needed honesty to 10 and has been a tribute to the long tradition 10 has had of excellence in weather reporting. She put to rest the image of the Barbie Doll weather “girl” and has shown that a credible news organization can value a woman with intelligence who can compete with any man but seems the value of her performance has had enough at 10. Not to negate the work of other female reporters, but Kelly has a credibility, beauty, and intelligence that is only overshadowed by her honesty and delightful personality. I doubt that channel 10 would back track, though I will follow Kelly’s story which will certainly become better as good people like her have a way of finding good positions and bringing goodness to all positions she might have. Until I hear of her reinstatement, I will be watching some of your growing competition.
Life-long viewer until now,
Peter

I loved watching Kelly on the weekends. If she's not reinstated I'm watching channel 12

I prefer to watch Kelly Bates dispense the weather because her demeanor is wonderful and her voice is lovely. If you let her go, you will lose an informed viewer.
Bring her back, please!

Kelly Bates is a true professional that you can trust with a weather forecast, not some cute young bimbo who likely will replace her for image & ratings. Young people hardly watch TV news anyway. Who are you trying to impress with a new young weather girl anyway if you get my drift? Sounds like Kelly needs to find a good discrimination lawyer!

Extremely disappointed after watching 10 for years. I am now switching to 12. Hope it was worth it to you!

I’ve already started watch another channel. Kelly is so good at what she does. So much better than the other female early morning meteorologist. Age and looks should not be a factor. As a society we are trying to learn not to judge others by what they believe or how they look. Shame on the owners of this station.

The only time I ever watched channel 10 news was Saturday mornings because of Kelly Bates. I wont be watching channel 10 at all now.

Kelly Bates should be back where she belongs doing what she does better than any other.

The way channel 10 handled this was really wrong. Kelly deserves better treatment than you gave her! It speaks of sexism!

WJAR shows it only values women as window-dressing. We make up half of your viewership. You have embarrassed yourselves. The least you can do is offer her her old contract *or better*. For shame.
