Salt Lake Spanish Radio

Utah's Spanish-language media is best understood as a set of stations and outlets that serve the Salt Lake market in different ways, not as one network. A new resident of the Wasatch Front can tune in to several Spanish-language music stations, a bilingual public radio station, and local newscasts from Univision and Telemundo. Frequencies, formats and owners do change, so treat any list as a starting point.

Spanish-Language Radio in the Salt Lake Market

Several FM stations aimed at Spanish-speaking listeners reach the Salt Lake City, Ogden and Provo area. Some are licensed to small towns in northern Utah or southwestern Wyoming and cover the Wasatch Front from mountaintop transmitters, which is why the city on a station's license may not be where its audience lives.

• La Gran D 102.3 (KDUT) plays regional Mexican music. It is licensed to Randolph, Utah.
• Latino 106.3 (KBMG) plays Spanish-language contemporary hits, including Latin pop and reggaeton. It is licensed to Evanston, Wyoming, and is a sister station of La Gran D.
• Mi Preferida 104.7 (KNIV) plays regional Mexican music and is licensed to Lyman, Wyoming.
• Avanza 88.3 (KUUB) is a public radio station owned by the University of Utah, a sister station to KUER and PBS Utah. It launched in 2024 as a bilingual station, mixing English and Spanish, and also carries programming from Radio Bilingüe, the national Spanish-language public radio network.

Older lists may still show AM 1600 (KTUB) as a Spanish oldies station; it has since changed to a Christian format, a good example of why lists go out of date.

Spanish-Language TV in Utah

Univision and Telemundo both have their own stations and local newsrooms in Salt Lake City. KUTH, Univision 32, is owned by TelevisaUnivision and produces the local newscast Noticias Univision 32; the same company runs UniMás on subchannel 32.2. Telemundo Utah, KTMW on channel 20, is owned by NBCUniversal's Telemundo Station Group and produces local Spanish-language news; its signal is repeated by smaller relay stations in places such as Ogden, Park City and Logan. Both stations also post local news and weather on their websites and apps.

News in Spanish Online and How to Check a Station

Spanish-language print newspapers in Utah have come and gone, so much of today's local news in Spanish is online. The Salt Lake Tribune publishes an En Español section on its website, and KSL.com offers a "Leer en español" machine-translation option on its stories and a newsletter, Voces de Utah, with news of interest to the Latino community. The Utah Division of Multicultural Affairs also keeps a list of Latino and Hispanic community organizations, many of which share news and events in Spanish.

To confirm what is on a frequency right now, check the station's own website or stream, or look up the call letters in the Federal Communications Commission's public inspection files, which show each station's owner and city of license. If a station you liked goes silent or changes format, the same search usually shows whether it moved or was sold.
