Matt Devitt helped us through many weather issues over the years. I trusted his forecast and listened to him as he guided us through those horrendous hurricanes. What a BIG mistake the station has made!!! He gave his all to his viewers and deserves time with his family!!!
Maria Bravo - yesterday
Stupid move! Switched to NBC, no more WINK for me.
Vicki Black - yesterday
I will be watching Gulf Coast News moving forward. I like Lauren, Greg, and Oceana, but Matt was one of a kind. We are making the switch. Allison Ray was my second favorite, so Gulf Coast News it is from now on.

It doesn't matter who they replace Matt with. Matt has no replacement. This is dirty pool and the public is just tired of it all. No Matt. No WINK. You stink. You really need to learn how to be a good employer, especially since you serve the public in such a huge way.

No more WINK for us. Channel 2 (NAbC affiliate) is our new go-to station. Plus, got pretty tired of WINK claiming that national. CBS are WINK reporters. So disingenuous.

No longer interested in wink.

Although Matt is great and everyone will miss him. These other candidates are people too and we shouldn’t be so harsh to them. Yes it was a crappy thing to do whatever happened. But why take it out on the other employees that are just trying to keep their jobs and do a good one at that!

Good bye Wink. When you got of Matt, I got rid of you.

Something, and not Matt is amiss. I don't like any other station except FOX. So FOX it is. Bye, bye WINK. Foolish move.

I cannot believe how foolish people are. Who knows what this guy is like? Ever heard of tv people doing sketchy things? There must be a reason

Big Mistake is an understatement! Good point - IF Matt wanted to come back!
He deserves a huge raise and a major apology! OR Matt will move on, make BIG Bucks
and get the respect he has rightfully earned elsewhere!
Those other guys in SWFL are boring, and mostly wrong! Matt is smart, calm and you can tell he loves what he is doing.
I will also be turning OFF WINK News!

Hire Matt back. If he would even consider it.
Gary Moss - 3 days ago
This is a HIGE mistake. Matt can’t be replaced. Others may have similar skills, but no won can match Matts relationship to the community. Many of us will now switch to another channel

Be interesting to find out the rationale, given Matt's popularity. I always enjoyed his commentary.
