You could always count on Kelly’s forecast every time to be “totally” right. She would be so precise even to the exact hour the weather would occur. I wish she would get her position reinstated.

Kelly Bates and Mario Hilario were the two reasons I still watched after Frank left. I’m done. Moving on.

Kelly does so much mote than report the weather; she teaches the weather! Big mistake channel 10,. Clearly, you don’t know your audience. Channel 12 here I come!!

The only reason I put up with Sinclair right wing broadcasting is to watch Mario and Kelly, I think it’s despicable that the station would fire someone who has won accolades and is a highly successful meteorologist. Looks like channel 12 is getting a new viewer

Just another BAD MOVE by Channel 10 and Sinclair Media. Make Kelly Bates the offer and bring her back or I too am done with 10!

I would live to see her back, but honestly I hope if they do offer her job back to her, she declines...they don't deserve her.

Channel 10 management should be totally embarrassed by this thoughtless decision. Kelly has been an icon in RI and she has consistently done an excellent job. Not watching 10 anymore.

How can you let a popular, smart, talented and experienced meteorologist go. Bring her back but this time with an appropriate contract.

There's a right way to do things and a wrong way. Looks like WJAR chose the wrong way- for someone who has been part of the team for decades.

So is this what happens to women? Talk about discrimination. Why is it always women that get let go for younger versions? Time to let go some of the men.
