Comments about ‘KSL radio, TV get own division’

Ughhh...any chance this means KSL classifieds will no longer be free? Probably a dumb thought, just wondering about the "online revenue"...

I suspect that Bonneville sans KSL will be sold to the highest bidder because radio stations no longer serve a core function for the owner. With the Internet and BYU TV satellite channel, the LDS Church can now easily reach out to the world.

All I have to say about KSL is that Sandra Yi is the foshizzle.

There have been so many management mistakes there. TV bleeds money, except for the Olympics. Plus any decent report there is gone. Too much reporting and very little journalism thanks to having too many newcasts to fill.

KUTR flopped ($1 million), Nightside ($2 million)went from 14 people to 2, 102.7 did nothing to improve 1160's ratings ($15,000,000 mistake). Lets not even get started on the other stations that continue to lose share in the market.

The whole organization is so top heavy and that is where all the problems come from. Too many managers making very poor decisions; bringing in too many consultants, and somehow getting huge amounts of money but ratings and share continue to slip. Time to blow up the ship.

KSL sports radio will blow up the other stations, (3 of which will fold early next year). This will be awesome!

Hard to understand the addictions to Sports radio and the almost psychotic fixation on whether some obscure player on some team has a hangnail or not. Meanwhile, the country is falling apart and Obama is instituting Socialism while people are diverted onto SPorts and American Idol. Guess it's just cheap to produce a long, stream-of-consciousness sports talk format as opposed to real, meaningful radio content. Sorry, Sports Fans. KSL has too much for you for my liking. I can understand an hour program or so, but cmon -- 3 or 4 hours every night is far to much. People need to get a life.

That was tongue in cheek, right?

BYUTV and KSL reaching out to the world? To maybe a few of the LDS out there.

We're LDS and we don't listen to or watch KSL--because their programming is too often inappropriate or we disagree with their political agenda (Hannity's okay).

BYUTV? No one in the family watches that channel either--because it's corny.

To the poster @ 12:43 p.m., no I was not being tongue-in-cheek. BYU TV is included in all of the packages offered by DirecTV and Dish Network, plus many cable systems carry the channel. It also streams on the Internet, as does the new Mormon audio channel.

I am also LDS, but cannot stand Hannity. What I want is talk radio where you cannot tell if the host is conservative or liberal because s/he never editorializes, but instead just interviews knowledgable guests from all perspectives and has very limited listener call ins. I want to hear what the expert guest has to say. So for me, in the afternoon if I want to listen to talk radio, I tune in Talk of the Nation on NPR.

Talk of the Nation, on National Public Radio (NPR), is also my favorite talk-radio show, for the reasons Zadruga cited.
It can be heard from 12:00 to 1:30 PM on KUER-FM 90.1
