Actually, it's the latter. The KSTU calls were attached to two distinct licenses, hence two distinct stations. They even co-existed from January 1987 through November 1987. What makes it confusing is that MWT Ltd., original permittee of the KSTU 13 in January 1987 (then called KTMW), bought KSTU 20 from Adams Communications in October 1987, for the express purpose of using channel 20's equipment to build channel 13. Presumably, they immediately shut the station down and returned the license to the FCC, because two weeks after the deal was consummated on KSTU 20, the KSTU call letters were moved to channel 13 and the KTMW 13 callsign was deleted. The details of this whole affair can be found at FindLaw for Legal Professionals - it reads almost like a soap opera. When I get a chance, I intend to correct the article. -- dhett 06:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
It looks like while the current channel 13 is a separate license from the old channel 20, MWT bought the KSTU intellectual unit (programming, staff, calls and Fox affiliation). This appears to be a similar situation to WHDH-TV in Boston--while its current license dates from 1982, the channel 7 intellectual unit in Boston dates from 1948. Another analogus situation is WSVN in Miami. Blueboy96 18:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
It's not standard practice on Wikipedia for a television station's list of transmitters to be a separate article from the one on the television station itself. Is there a specific reason it should be allowed to stand in this case? Bearcat 10:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
The article claims KSTU "launched a 9pm newscast in 1996" ... In reality, it launched a 9pm newscast in 1991, after being acquired by Fox, per Fox directives that all Fox O&O would have a newscast following the Fox primetime programming block. The year can be indirectly confirmed by a page at the official KSTU website ( Mike Runge's Personality Page). I believe 1996 is the year they got rid of the original anchor Nick Clooney and brought in the current anchor team of Bob Evans and Hope Woodside.
Additionally, I believe the newscast aired for a time at 10pm on Sunday evenings during a period that Fox was experimenting with an extended Sunday night programming block. This may not be verifiable at this point, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Addendum: According to the following Wikipedia pages ( 1988-89_United_States_network_television_schedule, 1989-90_United_States_network_television_schedule, 1990-91_United_States_network_television_schedule, 1991-92_United_States_network_television_schedule, 1992-93_United_States_network_television_schedule,) Fox programmed part or all of the 9pm Mountain Time hour for five seasons, including the entire period from the inception of the KSTU 9pm newscast until the summer or fall of 1993 when Fox stopped programming that hour in its entirety. This would have pushed the Sunday evening newscast back to 10pm Mountain Time.

There is a new logo for KSTU. It's now used on their newscasts and it's on the beginning of this video. I'm not sure how it's possible to get an image from that, but if anyone wants to find the logo, that's what you need to find. 67.41.231.60 ( talk) 00:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I Was in St. George 2 weeks ago and noticed that they are using a new logo for FOX13.
Here's the link for it: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/568c6bae7086d7219d1a8400/56c36ec5555986cf566e028c/56c36ec5555986cf566e028d/1462294235767/FOX+color.png
I am proposing that List of personalities of KSTU be merged back into the main KSTU article, the main article is not large enough to have warranted a split, and should it be merged it should be placed as a subsection of the news operation section.

Images are appropriately licensed; Earwig shows no issues; sources are reliable.
"Weekday" will include an HTML note indicating which day of the week the newspaper was published on. This is not a part of the citation template, but is available for convenience in writing articles: in a tacit acknowledgement of their ephemeral relevance and planned obsolescence as artifacts of Spectacle, newspapers have been saying stuff happened "last Thursday" for several hundred years, and it is often useful to know the specific day some event happened.
The date of a Web page, PDF, etc. with no visible date can sometimes be established by searching the page source or document code for a created or updated date; a comment for editors such as date=2021-12-25<!--date from page source-->|orig-date=Original date 2011-01-01 can be added.Wouldn't that be more useful than a comment outside the ref?
