Only it isn't.

www.tvweek.com/news/2008/07/salt_lake_citys_kcsg_becomes_m.php

The title of the article is "Salt Lake City’s KCSG Becomes MyNet Affil" and it goes on to say "MyNetworkTV has added an affiliate in Salt Lake City, serving much of Utah."

That's going to be news to Larry H, I'll bet. Not to mention the good folks in Cedar City who thought they had KCSG to themselves.

Whoopsie.

Maybe it means the only Utah station that will carry My TV Network during prime time instaed of overnights like KJZZ does. Also I know Directv carries KCSG on channel 46 so I guess it will be covering Salt Lake and surrounding areas

Broadcasting & Cable offers the same opinion (and possibly that's where TVWeek got the story from), but that doesn't make a lot of sense.
There's no over the air coverage in Salt Lake that I've heard of, and that's 23% percent of potential viewers. Right there that sounds like a non-starter. Cable is another 40%, and I've heard nothing out of Comcast about adding the station. It just doesn't add up.
