KUTV

:''For the Communist International university known as KUTV, see Communist University of the Toilers of the East.''
'KUTV' is the CBS owned and operated station (O&O) serving the greater Salt Lake City, Utah metro area. The station broadcasts on VHF channel 2 from Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains, as well as a variety of translators throughout Utah, Nevada and Wyoming-including a full power satellite, KUSG channel 12, serving the St. George area.
It originally signed on in 1954 as Utah's ABC affiliate, trading affiliations with KCPX-TV (now KTVX) in 1960 and becoming an NBC station.
In 1993, NBC bought KUTV. However, in September 1995, KUTV became a CBS affiliate as part of a complex deal resulting from Westinghouse Broadcasting (Group W)'s affiliation deal with CBS. CBS traded its longtime O&O in Philadelphia, WCAU-TV, to NBC in exchange for KCNC-TV in Denver, with KUTV added to the deal as compensation. CBS then sold controllling interest in KUTV to Group W. NBC initially wanted to return to KTVX, but ultimately signed with KSL-TV.
When Group W's owner, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, merged with CBS in 1996, KUTV became a CBS O&O. It is one of the few stations in the country to have been affiliated with all three original television networks.
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.
In 2003, the station moved from a facility in West Valley City 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 City 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.
KUTV is one of five CBS-O&O stations that do not follow the CBS Mandate, given the fact it is called ''2News'' as opposed to ''CBS2'' (this branding used on sisters WCBS, WBBM and KCBS. The other four are WCCO in Minneapolis-St. Paul - branded as ''WCCO 4'', KDKA in Pittsburgh - branded as simply ''KDKA-TV or KDKA-TV 2'' (there is a CBS2 logo but residents of Pittsburgh would be upset had this been used "over-the-air"), WJZ in Baltimore - branded as ''WJZ 13'', and WBZ in Boston, branded as simply ''WBZ''.
KUTV is the only CBS O&O station to sign off every weekend.
On February 7 , 2007, CBS Corporation reached an agreement to sell seven of its smaller-market stations, including KUTV and KUSG, to Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., for $185 million. [1] The stations are expected to remain CBS affiliates after the sale.
