KZHT (97.1 FM) is a contemporary hit radio formatted radio station, broadcasting to the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. It is owned by iHeartMedia as one of six radio stations in the market. The station's studios are located in West Valley City, and its transmitter site is located southwest of the city on Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains.
The station signed on in 1961, as KLUB-FM, airing a music format partially simulcast with KLUB (570 AM).[3] The station then became KISN "Kissin 97", airing an adult contemporary format.[4] This format included a mix of soft rock, pop hits, and ballads from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
On November 3, 2000, the station changed to an all-1980s hits format. It retained the "Kissin 97" name and airstaff. This format focused exclusively on music from the 1980s, featuring a wide array of genres.
In 2001, KISN joined at least four other Clear Channel Communications stations in the U.S. in airing "Martha Quinn's Rewind," a program hosted by former MTV VJ Martha Quinn.[5][6]
On December 22, 2003, 97.1 became the new home of KZHT and its contemporary hit radio programming. This led to the station beginning to play the most popular and current songs across various genres, including pop, hip-hop, dance, and R&B. KZHT had previously been on 94.9 FM, now owned by Cumulus Media.[7]

KUCW (channel 30) is a television station licensed to Ogden, Utah, United States, serving as the CW network outlet for Salt Lake City and the state of Utah. It is owned by Nexstar Media Group alongside ABC affiliate KTVX (channel 4). The two stations share studios on West 1700 South in Salt Lake City; KUCW's main transmitter is located atop Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains, extended by dozens of translators that carry its signal throughout Utah and portions of Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming. Channel 30 from Ogden came on air in October 1985 as KOOG-TV, an independent station owned by American Communications and Television. It struggled for its first decade-plus on the air with technical issues, some of which resulted from the transmitter being blocked from the Salt Lake Valley by terrain, and poor finances. The station curtailed its general-entertainment programming and spent most of its day broadcasting the Home Shopping Network, which paid KOOG-TV for airtime. The original ownership was sold to Trivest Financial Services in 1991, laid off most employees in 1992, and sold the station in 1994 to Alpha and Omega Communications, a subsidiary of the Salt Lake City–based Miracle Rock Church. KOOG-TV became Utah's affiliate of The WB upon the network's launch in January 1995. Alpha and Omega agreed to sell the station to Paxson Communications Corporation in 1996; as Paxson programmed infomercials on its stations, this put The WB's future in Utah in doubt. The issue was resolved when Roberts Broadcasting and ACME Communications reached a deal to swap the construction permit for channel 16 to Paxson in exchange for operating channel 30 as a WB station. In April 1998, the new management took over; the station was renamed KUWB, and it relocated its studios and offices to Murray. Clear Channel Communications, which at the time owned KTVX, purchased KUWB in 2006 and combined their operations. That year, The WB and UPN merged to form The CW, and KUWB became KUCW to reflect its new network affiliation. Channel 30 has been co-owned with KTVX ever since through several sales and under Nexstar ownership since 2012. It airs 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. local newscasts from the KTVX newsroom.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
