Bonneville is apparently not pleased with the content and will help NBC "look for options to allow the show to be seen in this market on another channel."

I'll bet I know where it ends up. I think a certain station can preempt off-network syndicated fare for a first run major network show once a week without much bother, right?

KUCW right, or KJZZ? What about KSTU? I have my opinions on this, but I will keep them at bay for now.

KUCW is my guess. Ever since they signed on back in '98 I think it was they've taken KSL's castoffs. The weekly SNL is there, they took one of the NBC soaps for a long time. Most recently they took the regular programming slate when KSL was running the Primary Childrens Medical Center telethon. Without a deal in place they won't say anything, but that's where my money's at. I also wouldn't be at all surprised if it was delayed until late night, though they shouldn't.

From what little I know about the program, its not much worse than some of the crime dramas like CSI or whatever NBC airs during prime time. Then again, consider the source and you'll find the explanation. I could go on for hours on this subject, but in the interest of not starting a flame war, I will not post what I'm really thinking (which you can probably guess). I have nothing against religion btw.

It's being widely reported that KMYU is the winner of the Playboy Club Sweepstakes. Ironic that it would end up there since KMYU is connected with KUTV which was the NBC affiliate until about 15 years ago. Surprising too. I wonder if this will put My Utah on the map.

The term "widely reported" is an understatement .
