KUTA

KUTA is an UPN affiliate serving Salt Lake City, Utah, and it's sounding areas. Broadcasting on channel 9, KUTA is owned and operated by Evans Communications. KUTA was launched on June 2, 1980, and for about 12 years, was the broadcasting arm of the University of Utah. In 1992, the university decided to sell the station to Perry Communications, who completely overhauled the station and made it an independent. In 1995, they became a charter member of UPN, where they remain to this day. In 2006, Perry Communications sold the station to Oakhurst Broadcasting. On Jan. 30, 2016, it was announced that Island Television, as well as Higgins Broadcasting, and Oakhurst Broadcasting, were merging into Adelphia Communications. So Oakhurst Broadcasting had to sell the station, and the station was sold to Evans Communications. On May 17, 2017, KUTA was sold to Gannett Communications.
