I loved watching Matt and Kjerstin, in the mornings, we don’t watch national new. I hate the new people on the mornings.
Especially the one who does the weather. She speaks so squeaky and fast a person can’t hear her. We won’t be watching.

For what it’s worth, here is my comment in regards to Matt and Kjerstin leaving Good Day Spokane.
Once I discovered this energetic twosome, I was hooked. I find myself waking up earlier just to watch n listen to them on Good Day Spokane. They were so compatible plus there was a freshness about them which made for a great fit. I found their playfulness an affection was a wonderful start to my day.
I understand that Kjerstin moved, and Matt well,, will we ever know the truth of why this dynamics twosome are now gone? Sad to say the stations ratings are probably way down, that’s why I no longer watch this program.

I am so dumb founded by this news. I was wondering what happened to Matt and just learned, thanks to google, he’s been fired. Why? He was real and the most authentic guy on the show. He will be missed. I loved the guy and have been watching him for years. Fox and Q 6 you got this one all wrong. Matt I hope you will see this and hope you will land in a place that will appreciate you and your talent. You will be missed.

My husband and I look forward to watching Good Day. Matt Rogers is a good journalist and he and Majestic were a good team. They both do their jobs professionally yet are fun and personable. When you have personalities that work well together and relate so well to all age groups you don’t destroy it. We don’t know what happened but you need to know how much Matt was appreciated by his audience. Good Day gave us the news for Tri-Cities as well as most of the Inland Empire. We have family and friends over the State and with viewing one program we were informed of news and weather for the day. Matt is a journalist in the real meaning of the word. Losing Matt is just one more disappointment in this crazy year.
We will tune in for Majestic and not watch the rest of the segment.
What were you thinking in letting Matt go?

Matt Rogers was my Good Morning bite of reality to start every day with energy, knowledge, and keep in touch with Spokane. No longer watching Fox, they lost a good man when Matt Rogers walked out of their doors. Matt best of luck and incredible life ahead!!! Thank you for all the years of hard work and honest reporting and sharing your life. God Bless you and your family.

You said good-bye to Matt and Kjersten, so now after 50 years of watching KHQ, we are saying good-bye to KHQ. Matt and Kjersten were a cheerful way to wake-up with my cup of coffee in the morning. Stormy is the only one left to enjoy. On to KXLY. 😢
