Really disappointed in Ken Boddie. Watched a little of the Sunday show with Jeff Merkley. Ken either didn’t do his subject homework or is just following a written script. He asked Merkley if citizens should own assault weapons? Hey Ken, citizens cannot buy assault weapons. I know because I have been an FFL dealer for 30 years. He then let Merkley get away with saying an 18 year old can buy a “Tommy Gun.” Totally false on both subjects. I expected a lot more professionalism from Mr. Boddie. After 35 years of KOIN news, I cannot stomach any more of these false narratives.

Oh good god, pick a real issue.
You’re just being hateful about an excellent reporter because he didn’t ask what *you* wanted him to regarding guns.
Don’t watch KOIN anymore, see if anyone notices! 👋
Annique • July 20, 2022
I’m so sad she went to channel twelve why?
Todd Howem • December 24, 2021

Kenneth Klein • December 23, 2021

Jeff Fagnan • December 20, 2021
Great job on kptv traffic this morning!
Jr • December 20, 2021
Done with KOIN
New managers always use change as an illusion for progress. The chemistry your team had gave Koin a great program for many years.
It was a great run!
Best wishes and success for your family!
Life goes on, and I’m sure it will only be a blessing for you!
B Svott • December 20, 2021

Abel • December 9, 2021
I’m sorry to hear that your not doing traffic there. You are the only reaso I would watch. I know you will be successful at any other endeavors you might take on. So I like you will sign off from koin6.

Great respect for Ken Bodie and the long, long years he has been our friend-for-the-news. In 2008 when many of us were cut loose the go-to phrase was “life is free agency.” As long as news is as deplorable as it is, somehow it seems that good people don’t deserve the task of being affiliated with organizations that tinker with successful formulas. Carly… from an asteroid’s view you have a lot more to offer than traffic. Your personality would shine through and there is more there than KOIN realized, so you have everything to be proud of. We look forward to your next creative entry into the public eye. And props to your husband for his support, too!
Pamela L Foster • December 8, 2021
I know that I miss you greatly on Channel 6. They made a huge mistake not keeping you. For the longest time you worked morning and evening show. There was a huge traffic tie up two days ago and you should have been there reporting it. Thanks Carley, from a loyal fan, Pamela Foster
CARLY KENNELLY • December 6, 2021
Hi everyone!!! It’s Carly! I miss delivering the traffic in the mornings for you! It was not my decision to leave KOIN after 14 years. The new GM decided to change up the morning show and not renew my contract. They decided to not have a designated traffic reporter and instead give my duties to a “breaking news” anchor with little experience reporting traffic. You can be loyal to a company for years and they will never be loyal to you in return, it’s life lol. I have heard from many people that the show is not good anymore. I haven’t watched since I left. I’ll be doing some freelance work soon, so watch Channel 12 in the mornings the last two weeks of December. 🤗
Shery • December 20, 2021
Yep!!! LOALTY means nothing anymore!! We all miss you and will find another local affiliate to view from now on. Good job and EXTREMELY well done!!! GOD BLESS YOU.
Barbara Hunter • December 21, 2021
We stopped watching KOIN a long time ago, but always appreciated the fine job you did reporting the traffic conditions. We stopped mainly because of the way the weather is handled since the newer boss over the weather reporters came on board. We watch them manipulate the numbers & percentages shown in a broadcast such that they can cover every scenario & call themselves the most accurate forecast. Mark Nelsen of Kptv and Matt Zaffino of KGW do not do that. Anyway, you were always excellent in your presentation, & it was a nice surprise to see you on KPTV this week. Hope you stay there if that’s what you would like to do.
Larry K • November 29, 2021
New line up sucks, once Ken Boodie leaves I leave. I’m spending more time watching channel 2 KATV, Jenny left and now you have a whiney voice. Carley left and you have that dork doing weather on Alert. And why are these folks seemingly gone alot ? Crapy news cast now.
Linda Torrence • October 15, 2021
Where’s Ken Boddie, he is (was) our only African American representation on our local television news, please you need to do something to cultivate bringing more African Americans to television and behind the scenes don’t just hire one and think “ it’s all good “
continue to delve into the writing and broadcast team.
bob jarrard • October 14, 2021
I really miss Carley Kennelly; she was confident, warm and just a pleasure. KOIN has really screwed up their mornings. I’ll no longer use it as my go-to news station. Frankly, all your changes SUCK!
James W. • October 13, 2021
KOIN tv must be under new management. First moving Jenny Hansson to a short midday position, Then disappearing Carly Kennally. By the way, where is Ken Boddie? Sounds like new management to me. Oh well, I like KATU morning news also if they could just ditch the blonde traffic person KATU. Oh, so by the way in the world would Koin think that Emily Burris ( with her whining, ready-to-cry voice ) is ready to anchor the morning news. It sounds like they’re at a funeral when I hear her. So long KOIN.
Cindy • October 4, 2021
I’m not sure why the big shake up, but I don’t think you should have gotten rid of your traffic reporter. I for one do use those reports for my commute. I’m watching other stations for that information now 😕
Gary • September 29, 2021
First Sally, now Carly, the sunshine has left kOIN
larry Blair • September 27, 2021
I will miss Carly’s confident demeanor, warmth and extreme professionalism.
Another light has gone out in KOIN’s mornings.
Cheryl • November 14, 2021
I agree! Travis is nice, but he just doesn’t cut it!!
Mark • September 21, 2021
The weather stations in portland dont show the city of Ontario, OR. on the weather maps Why?
Aaron • October 13, 2021
If it is because of the shot, it’s silly. Give up a Cush job that is obsolete. Your phone does this same job. I venture to say she has other vaccines. Only reporting traffic will probably not last as an occupation much longer.
Cynthia Alexander • September 20, 2021
Is Carly doing traffic somewhere else that I can tune into
Malia Gislason • November 10, 2021
No
David Van Hook • September 7, 2021
Why did Carly Kennelly leave KOIN 6?
Jason Remington • September 7, 2021
Carly Kennelly is a certified personal trainer. Perhaps she will focus on that.
Lola D • September 20, 2021
Missing Carly Kennelly’s good traffic reports. Good luck Carly.
Guido Verdi • October 12, 2021
People from all of the local Portland affiliates (CBS, ABC, NBC & FOX) have “quietly left” their held positions. Methinks it was because of their personal right of choice regarding against the vaccinations. Acquaintances at two of these stations have insinuated, but not confirmed such. A shame, really… She was the best person on that newscast!
