This Saturday, KSL NewsRadio and KSL TV/Salt Lake City will simulcast the documentary “KSL Radio 100 Years” to celebrate the radio station’s 100th anniversary.
KSL has a lot of history, considering on May 6, 1922, Utah became the broadcast home of the first clear channel radio station in the western United States. Over the years, KSL radio has existed to build up families and communities.
“Since the beginning, our ownership has recognized the power of media to have influence on communities,” Bonneville International President Darrell Brown said. “We put purpose before profits, and I think that’s why KSL enjoys the reputation that it does.”
The documentary celebrating the centennial year not only looks back at the legacy station’s history and community service it also reveals how innovations in digital broadcasting and podcasting are shaping the station’s future.
“We helped pioneer radio, but technology is evolving and so we continue to innovate,” Bonneville International Executive Vice President Tanya Vea, who is also Salt Lake General Manager, said.
“At our core, we are a content company distributing information to reach our audiences wherever they are-their cars, online, or through a smart speaker.”
The documentary celebrating KSL Radio’s 100 Years airs on KSL TV and KSL NewsRadio Saturday, April 2, 2022, at 4 pm MT.
