Bring Kelly Bates back. I don't enjoy or watchyour weather report during the week anymore only on weekend when she is on. What a poor decision on the part of management to not keep her on and replace her with the other Kelly who is horrible at her weather reporting. You will continue to fall in ratings with the decision making you are doing

I as well as 28 residents of ri will no longer view channel 10 news, due to Kelly's cut back. I am disappointed.

I was only in R. I. (I live in Burrillville part-time) this year for 3.5 months, but always looked forward to turning on the tv and hearing and seeing Kelly Bates' professionalism reporting the weather. She does have the perfect voice for broadcasting and the maturity of her mannerisms, delivery, & presentation cannot be replaced by anyone without her qualities that can only be gained with experience. When I tuned in the 1st day that she wasn't there, I didn't know what to think, or what happened, so I continued to tune in to see if I could find out. I was happy and relieved to see her in what a menial time slot I could find her. However, now back to my other state of residence, things having calmed down a little from the travel, I decided to search to see if I could find some answers. Now to find this petition, I'm glad to sign it. If Kelly Bates doesn't return to her past times on NBC 10 News mornings, I will no longer return to watching it. I enjoy listening to the news and weather while I'm getting ready for work weekdays, but would prefer to change to another channel and support the watching of the programs where they are letting Kelly remain. I'm sick of the way people get replaced by ''out of the box'' versions of what 'they' feel that the public prefer to watch, see, or listen to. Well, they are wrong, and I'm glad to read that there are so many others who also agree with my opinion. I will eventually be moving home to R. I. permanently and I hope that this issue will be resolved by then because if it's not, it's also good-bye from me as a past viewer of this referred time slot!

I want Kelly Bates where she belongs...next to Frank. I can't stand Molly and the traffic report, I am not fond of the other Kelly. No one does weather better than Kelly Bates. She's more informative and knows her stuff. Bring her back. I refuse to watch the show unless Kelly is brought back during the week. I watch weekends and sometimes I really feel bad for Kelly that she was replaced with armatures .

Kelly Bates is glib, informed and has a great voice. She can dialogue without stutter and keep up with anything that is thrown her way while on camera. She and Frank Colletta seem to have a great rapport which makes the Sunrise Show informative and very soothing at the early hours. She should be the regular weather person if channel 10 is looking for professionalism with a staff that complements one another.

Replacing Kelly Bates with Kelly Love...was a huge mistake! Who dresses Love? She only wears 2 colors! Ridiculous. Return Bates.....or your audience will continue to decline.

Mary. You dont know jazz about weather! I to feel KB is a pro. But when it comes to raw talant....K Love has it all!!! She has never gotten a forcast wrong and her sidestep on the Doppler is 2nd to none. I would agree her clothes seem a little snug at times....but thats her style. Bates is great on the weekend....but RI need that M-F Love! By the way....TAKE YOUR CAPLOCK OFF!!! And leave Molly Brown out of this. While she does stink and makes dumb jokes....she is a team leader.
