To whom it may concern: Please make every, and I mean every effort to bring back Kelly Bates. What you’ve done is unconscionable and irrational. It’s not too late….DO THE RIGHT THING, you’ll be glad you did.

We live in a coastal state. With climate change, the weather is impacting us more, and more severely. So why in the world would WJAR let go a seasoned, knowledgeable and beloved meteorologist? Why replace her w somebody less experienced? We all know that this firing was motivated by sexism and ageism. Quit gaslighting us! You fired her, that’s why she didn’t get a proper sendoff … and she didn’t go quietly. I hope Channel 12 hires her immediately, and the exodus of viewers teaches Sinclair a very big, expensive lesson.

I guess looks trump talent. Shame on channel 10!

Kelly Bates is great. It’s so nice to see a woman in that position who looks like most of us. She always dressed well & appropriately. She looks nice & is nice!

Sinclair, you made my choice to click to broadcast oh so easy. What a waste of talent, commitment and expertise. Kelly, many views will follow you and celebrate your next step. So, from this point forward, WPRI unless Sinclair steps up and makes this right.

Certainly a shock to have to be signing a petition to bring Kelly Bates back to channel 10. I will never watch channel 10 news again.

Why was this 17 year veteran let go? No one cares about an older woman giving us the weather. Bring her back or lose a ton of viewers to channel 12!
