Bring Back Kelly Bates

I love Kelly, your replacements in this department are awful. Turning you off unless she comes back!

I've watched NBC10 since I moved to RI 25 years ago and firing Kelly Bates will push me to WPRI.

Kelly Bates didn’t just report the weather. She explained why it was happening! Guess Sinclair doesn’t know when they have someone priceless!

Ms. Bates is the best !

I am done with WJAR 10. WJAR should bring back Kelly Bates; absolutely. You'd be lucky if she returns after the way she'd been treated. But WJAR/Sinclair has lost this viewer for local news regardless.

Bring Kelly back! Guess I will be going back to channel 12. Even more so if someone else is hired to replace her. How long has Erne been in meteorologist? Pretty sure not as long as Kelly and definetly not as good! And Kelly gets let go....hhhmmmm seems shady to me!

we love Kelly she just has all the qualities that one needs to be so well fitted for hat job.Channel 12 here I come! ,

Bring Kelly Back. Stop with the Men always staying on and the women I'll let go. Especially when you go and hire a younger girl for cheaper money you're going to get what you pay for and you're going to lose a lot of followers I only watch the weather with Kelly Bates. Stop with the nonsense and hire her back.

Bring back Kelly. RI loves her doing the weather.

Well how could someone who delivers the weather with a smile on her face day in and day out not be good enough? Ratings over quality and class? You’ll do better in the immediate and the long run to bring her back and make it super public. it’s better for the stations image all around. But I guess you don’t deserve her anyway. How gross and lame.

Kelly was one of the very few reasons I watched Ch 10.

Our family loves Kelly! She is knowledgeable, funny, friendly and an inspiration. As a round woman in my 50's I am disgusted and disappointed in Wjar. We will no longer be viewers.

Very sad by this news.. I only watched Channel 10 because of Kelly.. Kelly Bates is an exceptional meteorologist and very accurate, she was a pleasure to watch and has a great voice. She did her job well. WJAR Sinclair you should be ashamed of yourself and I hope your ratings go down. I certainly will NOT be watching channel 10 any longer. Kelly Bates thank you, you will be missed enormously Best of luck

I have watched Kelly Bates for years. It is sad that a well loved and trusted meteorologist is ousted because she is getting older and isn’t a size 3. She is relatable and not a Barbie Doll. If she were a man would you be replacing her? Bring her back, people love her!

Kelly explained the weather better than anyone else.

She's the REASON I watch! Even in the worst of weather, she is comforting.

Won't be watching channel 10 unless Kelly is back.

Don't let her go

C'mon Sinclair, do the right thing and bring Kelly Bates back!

Bring back Kelly, don’t be pompous asses. Everyone loves Kelly Bates!!!! Bad mistake you will lose many viewer.
