We loved Matt Rogers. We will not watch your station.

We, my wife and I, are completely shocked. We had been waiting for Matt to return, thinking he was on vacation doing something fun and now we find out he’s been fired. Dumb move khq, oh yes, they are an nbc affiliate, far left and in the hole. Shouldn’t be a surprise.
Matt made our mornings. We would switch from our local news in the Tri-cities, which at that time was going to National morning shows, to our channel 11 Fox and watch Matt every morning! We still watch, but not long. The two girls aren’t bad, but their not Matt. He was the draw! Again dumb move nbc(khq) small letters on purpose.

NOOO!! Love and miss you Matt at Wake Up Montana! Wake Up khq!!
Lorin and Linda • November 12, 2020
We also are Tri-cities people who would switch from our local stations to watch Matt. Stupid move from khq, small letters on purpose.

I agree with the others: No Matt, we will be watching KREM for our local news. They are thorough & professionals. It’s hard to believe we won’t have our great line up for our news on Fox 28. But life goes on…..without our friends.

I was wondered what happened to Matt, KHQ have you lost your mind!!!!???? Matt WAS the morning show quarterback for this station, don’t know what he did don’t care, I live in the Tri-Cities and would tune in everyday because it was a tell it like it is, report the facts and move on. News is new and I think Matt did it as good as you could do it. Well, hate to see him go I think your (KHQ) will suffer a great deal with letting him go. Everyone I have told to check out KHQ morning weekday news show loved it and everyone I told that KHQ fired Matt said they are switching stations. WAY TO GO KHQ!!! Maybe management will be on the chopping block next for such a dumb move! I hope.

Well KHQ, bad move. You should let that annoying Majestic Storm go. She needs to grow up and get over herself. My 4 year old granddaughter is more mature.

Never watching Fox news again, always enjoyed Matt.
He was great… Not the same without him.

We completely agree! He was apart of our morning every morning! What’s wrong with KHQ? Oh, yes, it’s nbc an affiliate .

Matt Rogers was the only reason to watch this show. Not the liberal biased crap on KHQ. He brought a middle of the road manner that was friendly and on point.
No more will I watch KHQ or the fox morning show. I will look forward to finding and following Matt’s journey.
