If she was fired because of her weight, that is sexist. as there have been many overweight men throughout the years on the station.

Kelly is the best. I always trust her weather reports. I enjoy watching her; she is always so pleasant and bubbly. She brings a hometown feel to weather reporting, unlike many others who are robotic. Please bring Kelly back.

Ageism !! Also, Sinclair Broadcast is not local and clearly does not realize the importance of trusting the weather reports in New England. Kelly is trustworthy and accurate in her delivery. She is also upbeat and a natural on tv . Frankly, she is too fine a reporter for WJAR.

Bring Kelly back. Not only did she do a great job but she also filled in for the others whenever they needed time out no matter what shift they worked. She is one dedicated employee (which is hard to find these days)you should lucky to have her. Please rethink your decision to keep her.

Have not been a great fan of WJAR since Sinclair made Frank Coletta read that hostage tape. But I liked Kelly. Will not watch anymore.

I will no longer watch Channel 10 unless Kelly Bates is given her position with all seniority and salary level reinstated. Sinclair’s discriminatory treatment towards Kelly is unacceptable.

What a disheartening situation. Kelly Bates was a major asset to your station. It will no longer be of interest to watch your newscast any longer. You should bring her back!!
