Sad to see someone with such a nice presence on tv bounced around. Kelly Bates deserves her own permanent weather spot and we deserve to see her there. Channel 12 or fox looks better and better

I have been watching channel 10 morning news for many years (25 or so). I love Kelly Bates. If she wants less hours or to try traffic that’s one thing. But I have a feeling it’s not. I have come to dislike channel 10. Kelly Bates should have a permanent spot of her choosing. Get some less experienced traffic reporter. I’ve switched to channel 12 but would come back if changes were made. And Kelly Bates is lovely. She always looks natural and well put together.

I have changed news coverage due to this. Kathy Bates doing traffic is an insult to her. Whatever their reasoning, age or body shaming, is just a disgrace. Everyone loves her — her personality, ability, and experience.

I'm very sad to see Kelly Bates anywhere other than her meteorology position. If she not channel 10 WJAR meteorologist i'm not a viewer any longer. She brings sunshine to the news regardless of the actual weather !

Kelly should be the full time Monday through Friday weather person. I stopped watching because of the weather person you have now. Kelly and Mario make a good team.

I will NOT be watching what 10 anymore unless you bring back Kelly Bates full time. Nor will my family over 100 people. So sad that you took her away.

She’s one of the best local meteorologists. She has a tremendous fan base. Will nit be watching 10 if she’s replaced.

I trust the experience that meteorologist Kelly Bates brings to WJAR 10 and look forward to her forecasts , especially during storms . Not sure why she was put on traffic reports , seems degrading to me. Please put her back doing the job she has done so well for so many years.

Bring Kelly Bates back to weather. She is far better than the people who are doing weather now!!! She does not belong doing traffic!! What is wrong with you people? WJAR - NBC is really going down the tubes and fast!! Give the people what they want - experience and family. Kelly is like watching a family member because she has been on WJAR for years.

Why would they replace her? What a mistake! She is informative, highly experienced and awesome personality! Sorry if they feel she is not a younger Barbie doll! Bring her back now!
