In a time like this i always looked forward to Matt n Kristin in the morning..if it was bad news they seemed to be empathetic and at least made it bearable..
You want st r ike professionals..take it to top 5 markets..they’re all miserable people.

I absolutely can’t believe Matt is gone, it was hard to see George leave that was there forever! Then Sean is to gone from the early show! I do love to see all the new early show! But what r you guys doing messing th I be up?

We agree, but remember the early show is an NBC affilate and anything related to NBC is anti-American and far left!

Well, my wife and I sure miss Matt and Kjirsten. And while we haven’t found another station to watch, we certainly aren’t watching Fox anymore. As far as we’re concerned what they did was absolutely wrong. Those two had a fun, almost sibling relationship that made them both quirky and entertaining. They were both professional while being human. We absolutely do miss them.

Interesting reading the comments supporting Matt. And he is a very good journalist and was fun to watch in the mornings. However now the anchors have changed Fox will continue to have ok numbers in the mornings. BTW They just added a new female anchor and it’s gonna take her a while to settle in. 😳😁
Because truthfully their only local competition on broadcast is the CBS station in town and their morning crew is so so. Unless you want to watch the national talking heads/mouths. 😟

What the heck is the matter with you KLEW? You ruined the show when you fired Kjersten! We loved her bubbly personality and beautiful smile. She and Matt made a good team as she keep it light and always interesting! “Fight On” Kjersten!!! KLEW just turned into a dump! Sorry Majestic you’re a doll but, they’ll knock you off too!

So sad loved Matt Rogers!! What on earth did Matt do to get fired?? They were so fun to watch in the morning! The new brown hair girl bugs me for some reason! The one that does the weather and sometimes the news not the blonde, the short brown hair girl! She is so annoying!!!!

Since Matt Rogers has been fired, none of my family watch Good Day. It has turned into a joke. If it was not bad enough that Kjerstin was fired or left, but now Matt. It has become a show with no personality
Bianca • December 7, 2020
We miss Kjerstin and now Matt! We won’t be watching Good Day any longer!

How sad, Matt Rogers was the only reason we were staying with KHQ he & Kjerstin were a great team & have been much missed. Now with Matt gone we no will longer watch KHQ or KAYU. What a delightful young man; maybe you should looking into a change with your evening people.
