KUTV-TV is a television station serving the greater Salt Lake City, UT metro area. The station broadcasts on VHF channel 2 from Fanrsworth Peak in Northern Utah, as well as a variety of translators throughout the state.
It carries CBS programming and is owned by the CBS Television Station Division of Viacom.
In 2003, the station moved from a facility in West Valley City, UT to a street-side studio at 299 Main Street in Downtown Salt Lake's Wells Fargo Building. The move was financed in part by the Salt Lake Redevelopment Agency -- in the form of $1.2-million in interest free loans.
KUTV's newscasts overlook the street, and many segments take advantage of outdoor camera positions. Nearby Gallivan Plaza is also featured in some KUTV programming.
In 1995, KUTV and cross-town rival KSL-TV switched affiliations. NBC purchased KUTV-TV with the intent to sell to CBS as part of a swap involving stations in Denver, Miami and Philadelphia. NBC then secured an affiliation agreement with Bonneville International-owned KSL. At the time, KUTV retained one NBC program: Saturday Night Live, which remained in its Saturday 10:30pm time slot until about five months later.
