Kelly is the reason why I watch. Just voted best by RI monthly- how did Sinclair get this so wrong?

What are you thinking? Locals like familiar people on television. We trust them. Kelly Bates is a name we associate with channel 10. Pay attention to what your viewers like and return Kelly to her job.

Bring her back. She is loved by many. This decision was obviously made by men.

Stop age and body discrimination! Sinclair/WJAR should be ashamed.

Mario and Kelly are the only ones that kept me watching. I love Mario but will not watch NBC ever again. Been watching my whole life and I'm 67. Watched channel 12 today first time I actually enjoyed it very much. Very sad about all the recent departures.

Kelly Bates is a wonderful part of the news. I’m going to find another channel to watch if you can’t bring her back. I know you won’t say it has something to do with her size but everyone including Kelly knows otherwise. Do the right thing! If she will even have you!

Kelly understands our local weather the best. What reason do you have for hiring someone else?
Bring Kelly back!!

Time for her colleages to walk and demand LOCAL ownership of our beloved local news. Welcome to corporate America. We the people can make it happen. Shame on Sinclair!

Kelly is an icon and I can’t imagine the weekend sunrise show without her. Please work with her to reinstate her.

! To: Vic Vetters, the General Manager f the Providence-based (nefarious) Sinclair Broadcast Group affiliate. Shame on you and your greedy corporation. You didn’t offer her a contract. You went with someone younger to pay them less. We know your stock holder games. Have you no dignity?
Kelly Bates is a stellar meteorologist. She’s a staple, a pillar, professional female role model for RI & New England . She brings US sunshine everyday! You may want to re-access your actions. There will be a boycott!
We love her !
