Historical Note
The KUTV station first signed onto the air on September 10, 1954 as an ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City, Utah. The original co-owners of the station were Frank C. Carman & Associates and the Salt Lake Tribune. In 1994, NBC bought the majority control of KUTV from VS & A Communications Partners. Just under a year later, on September 10, 1995, KUTV switched its affiliation to CBS.

KUTV EXTRA
KUTV EXTRA was a news magazine type show that aired from 1977 to 1984 and had unique and diverse segments. The program attracted a new generation of filmmakers who took advantage of new possibilities in production, pre-recorded programming and genre to create their own unique mesh of critical exposés, short subject documentaries, experimental video, and in-depth interviews with local oddballs, Utah politicians, and national personalities from Robert Redford and George Romero to Timothy Leary and Harvey Milk. EXTRA fostered a legacy of programming that provides a historical snapshot of art and culture during a time of marked social change and technological development in Utah and throughout the nation. EXTRA is a good resource when looking for famous and not-so famous people and happenings in Utah around the late 70s and early 80s. The episodes are in the process of being uploaded to the Digital Library and made available. Click here to access or request copies of these videos.
