I do not know the circumstances of her departure, but I do know this. If you truly valued the impact that Kelly made on our community, you would do whatever you could to keep her engaged. She was bright, energetic, enthusiastic, and clever. That should matter to Sinclair I would think.

Kelly is the "Best Female Meteorologist" in RI! We are loyal viewers, but if you insist on showing her the door, I will give up CH 10, even though i'd miss Days of our Lives!....and that is HUGE!

This is going to be interesting aside signing off on a petition to keep Kelly today, I’m sure that Kelly will do better then this small time position! She connected with so many people achieving sincere genuine trust from your viewers, you lose WJAR! My prayers are with Kelly on her awesome future with a company that she can trust now to use her great ability to connect and excel true ratings.

Only if Kelly wants to be back. She deserved to be treated with respect and kindness. After this, I wouldn’t want to work for WJAR. I hope she gets a better gig somewhere!

I really can't believe what you did to this lady. If this was because of weight or age, you made a huge discriminatory mistake. It probably cannot be proven but terrible nonetheless. As you can plainly see by the support here on this board, this was not a smart decision. If I were Kelly I would not even want to work at a place like this. I'd like to see her move to a competitor and take all of the viewers with her.

Kelly is best meteorologist on 10 along with Mark Searles and Anthony McCari . She has been pushed to less and less hours . Get rid of traffic reporter; just pandering with pretty face.
