KUTR (820 AM) is a Contemporary Christian formatted radio station in Salt Lake City Utah. The radio station is owned by Julie Epperson.
At its inception KUTR was a female talk station featuring local and national talk programs. [3] KUTR was owned by Bonneville International, who struggled to find a format for the station. Due to low ratings Bonneville dropped the talk format and the station carried 24/7 LDS music, using the "Soft Sunday Sounds" branding of its sister-station, KSFI-FM. [4] [5] KUTR, when owned by Bonneville, acquired HD Radio for the station; however, the station was forced to turn HD off during the night to avoid interference with other stations. In 2008 the station was sold to Julie Epperson and began airing a Christian contemporary format, mixed with talk. [6]
Today KUTR under its new owner maintains the HD signal, but there have been times when it is not operating. [7] As of November 30, 2018, KUTR is no longer broadcasting in HD.
KUTR is licensed to Taylorsville; however, the towers for the station are located outside Cedar Fort. [8]
In addition to AM 820, KUTR can be heard also on FM. The information is listed below.
