Rationally speaking, it's been said many times in sales meetings between them and other companies that they are tied for first as the #1 CBS O&O with Baltimore. And from my experiences with the staff there, they seem to be more than proud to work there. (Unless you're a talent, and then your life is hell.)
I think they got a good thing going for them. It actually looks like a work place you want to go to with a vibe I can only describe as "caring." I know, that's a scary idea, but that's how all my trips to their studio felt.
I think the reputation that stems from other markets is that most stations are run by the Sales Department, and the others are told to deal with it, so the work suffers and management blames them for their downfall. KUTV seems to be more of an equal-share management. Plus, it doesn't hurt to be owned by the broadcasting company itself, rather than an independent source that questions all decisions that come their way.
No, that's not a direct kick in the **** to KSL, but it does include them.

I do like 2@9:00, but I wish they would stop selling their 10:00 newscast during the 9:00 newscast. If I'm watching it at 9:00 I'm not going to watch the same thing again at 10:00; so stop trying to carry the audience over. It doesn't work because we've already been there, done that, don't want to see it again; and if they keep annoying me with their front-selling, I'll just stick it out to watch a less annoying newscast at 10:00. Anyone with me, or is this my own little soap box?

Have to agree with the two of you! So why did KSTU drop 5 minutes of ads off the Simpsons to run their news into 10:05? (The Simpsons used to run from about 9:59 to 10:25, but now is over right at 10:30)

It seems more like a cheap way to cut into KUTV's 10PM since they cut into their 9PM, whle at the same time grabbing dumb Simpson fans who will always tune in at 10 reguardless, and will never adapt to coming in at 10:05. Now they just look like every other station who can't end a broadcast on time.

I'm not to familiar on all the KUTV news anchors and reporters, but I have been really enjoying KUTV news at 9, I think that anchor who does the world news(glasses looks kind of nerdy) is going to have a huge career at the highest level of journalism and news, he is way to professional and talented to stay in the SLC market for very long, and that retarded looking weather man has to go, he is irritating, he does provide a very important bathroom break during the newscast, I just have to make sure I'm not to stupid to understand his upper tier complexed form of meteorology, maybe thats what it is? I'm not meant to understand the weather!!
