Kelly was - and is - an amazing on-air asset for your station. I literally watched your newscasts because of her. While it's almost unbelievable you would even consider letting her go, it's what has happened. But... it's not what has to be. Get her back asap!

We were shocked by the dismissal of Kelly Bates. Shame on you. She is an authentic, cheerful human being who connected with people. Hopefully another local station will realize the gem she is and will hire her and we will begin watching that news station and longer be a part of the NBC family!

Bring her back this is why people stop watching. Big corporations only care about the bottom line. We find comfort in watching people who have been at this station for awhile it is very different from when someone chooses to leave

Kelly Bates was the best. WJAR10 has gone downhill and replacing everyone with younger females. Shame I will switch to another newscast.
