A true pleasure to watch her over these past years. Channel 10 needs to bring her BACK NOW !!! If not there are other channels to watch. Going to give channels 6 & 12 a look see now…..

How dare you Sinclair Broadcasting. Kelly Bates is a RI staple and it is an outrage that you can not recognize that.

I have watched NBC 10 for years and Kelly is one person I love to see. She is as nice in person as she is on TV and Sinclair should be ashamed of themselves for letting her go. If Kelly does not come back you have lost a family of viewers.

Bring Kelly Bates back. She did not deserve to be fired. She was a huge part it the WJAR Channel “family. “ if she is not reinstated, count me out. WPRO Channel 12, here I come. Hello Tony Petrarch, Michelle Muscatello, T.J. DelSanto, et.al.

Don't know if I'd go back after getting fired but it's her choice. If she goes to another station I be watching her.

Shame on WJAR...They seem to like those no minders like 'Rosy"....I will go to 12 now...Don't care for employers who don't value someone that's been there 17 years...and know that people love her for her genuine speak...

Smart, articulate, ACCURATE, trustworthy, funny, loyal, …… all words to describe Kelly. Not sure why those descriptions would get her fired. Oh, and voted RI’s BEST this year. Truly not a well thought out decision. If you want yo alienate your customer base- go ahead. I’ll head to channel 12. ( btw….. loyal viewer for over 50 yrs…..) can’t imagine how Rosie gets her own show at 12:30 when she consistently demonstrates what an airhead she is ( and admits it on air!) But Kelly gets let go…….shame on you Sinclair and WJAR.

I am so upset. What is channel 10 thinking? She is a true professional who has a great job. She has a sunny personality that comes through. Hire her back or else I will go elsewhere for my news and weather

I am very tired of women getting tossed because of their looks and or age. We all know about the Sinclair Company's lack of concern for equal rights for all.

Love Kelly! She’s the reason many people watch Ch. 10. Viewership will certainly suffer without her cheery personality!

Kelly deserves her spot back immediately. Without her, there will be 1 more less viewer. WJAR has truly made a HUGE mistake
