KTMW (channel 20) is a television station in Salt Lake City, Utah , United States, broadcasting the Spanish-language Telemundo network to the state of Utah. Owned and operated by NBCUniversal 's Telemundo Station Group , the station maintains studios are located on South Redwood Road in the northwestern section of Salt Lake City, and its transmitter is located on Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains , southwest of Salt Lake City.

KTMW's programming is relayed on three low-power digital translators : Class A stations KULX-CD (UHF channel 14) in Ogden and KEJT-CD (UHF channel 21) in Salt Lake City, and KULU-LD (UHF channel 16) in Park City .

History [ edit ]

The channel 20 allocation in Salt Lake City was originally occupied by KSTU (an independent station at the time, now a Fox affiliate) from 1978 to 1987. As part of a deal that was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the KSTU intellectual unit moved to channel 13 in 1987 and currently operates under a separate license. The old channel 20 license was deleted; KTMW's license dates back to its filing on December 8, 1997. Alpha & Omega Broadcasting, former owners of KOOG (channel 30), was granted the license in 1998. KTMW signed on March 31, 2001, with a religious format. The station would run shows like The 700 Club , Joyce Meyer , James Robison , and others; the original meaning of the calls stood for "The Master's Way". It eventually affiliated with FamilyNet and ran its classic TV shows for about a third of the day.

On April 1, 2015, Alpha & Omega Communications filed an application to sell KTMW to Serestar Communications. [2] It was approved by the FCC on August 13, 2015. The sale was completed on August 31, 2015. [3]

On July 30, 2015, Airwaves, Inc. filed an application to sell KULX-CD and KULU-CD to Serestar, who immediately took over the station's operations through a time brokerage agreement (TBA). [4] The sale was completed on October 7, 2015. [5] Later that month, KTMW switched to Telemundo , simulcasting low-power sister station KULX-CD.

Serestar agreed to sell KTMW, KULX-CD, and KULU-CD to NBCUniversal on November 28, 2018, as part of a $21 million deal; [6] that transaction closed on March 5, 2019. [7] NBCUniversal already owned the KEJT-CD license, with Serestar operating it under a TBA that was terminated concurrent with the sale. [8]

KEJT-CD was the second property in Utah to be owned by NBC as it previously owned KUTV (channel 2, now a CBS affiliate) until 1995 when it was sold to CBS alongside then-sister station KCNC-TV in Denver . KUTV is currently owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group as of 2021.

Former original programming [ edit ]

Logo used until 2015.

When it was owned by Alpha & Omega Communications, KTMW's original programming had included: [9]

  • Heart for the Lost with Andy Bird ? a program that discusses Evangelism, Apologetics and Christ. [10]
  • Heart of the Matter with Shawn McCraney [11] ? author of I Was a Born-Again Mormon [12] and pastor of C.A.M.P.U.S (Christian Anarchists Meeting Prayerfully Understand Scripture), [13] McCraney offers his personal insight about the differences between Mormonism and Evangelical Christianity . In January 2013, Heart of the Matter was abruptly canceled under pressure from local Evangelical pastors who feared McCraney would discuss and possibly criticize them and their methods. [14]
  • Polygamy: What Love Is This? [15] with Doris Hanson [16] ? a live television , phone-in talk show program broadcast weekly on Thursdays at 8 p.m. Produced by "A Shield and Refuge Ministry", [16] who offers assistance to those trying to leave a polygamous lifestyle, [17] and is hosted by Hanson, a former member of a Utah polygamous community known as the Davis Co-Operative Society . [18]
  • The Ancient Paths with Jason Wallace [19] ? a television ministry of Christ Presbyterian Church (an Orthodox Presbyterian Church ), in Magna, Utah . The host discusses his perspective on various topics and takes questions and comments from callers.
  • This Week in the Word with Greg Johnson [20] ? as founder of the evangelical Standing Together ministry, Rev. Johnson is joined by two other local Pastors for weekly theological discussions. A common topic is dialogue between faith groups found in Utah.
  • Word of the Kingdom with Ernest Khokhar [21] ? a television ministry of Miracle Rock International Ministries, where Pastor Khokhar hosts bible study, interviews, and call-in prayer lines.

Analog-to-digital conversion [ edit ]

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997, [23] the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station . KTMW shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 20, on June 12, 2009, [24] and " flash-cut " its digital signal into operation UHF channel 20. KTMW used NVerzion Automation to complete the flash cut. [25]
