KSL
U.S. center-right / institutional (LDS Church-owned)
KSL (TV, radio, and KSL.com) is a Salt Lake City news outlet owned by Bonneville International, the broadcasting arm of the LDS Church's for-profit holding company, Deseret Management Corporation. It runs as a mainstream local/regional news operation focused on Utah and Mountain West news rather than national partisan commentary, and its coverage of the Trump administration in 2025-2026 has been largely straight wire-style and local-impact reporting without a strong ideological slant. Because Utah's population and the LDS Church's institutional culture lean conservative, some observers see a soft center-right institutional tilt, but KSL's daily political coverage functions more as neutral local journalism than opinion-driven advocacy.
