KBTU-LD
KBTU-LD is a low powered digital television station in Salt Lake City, Utah, broadcasting locally on channel 23. The station is owned by HC2 Holdings. The General Manager of KBTU is Ed Distel. The original construction permit was applied by Airwaves Broadcasting LLC in Park City, Utah in 2002. Currently KBTU is available over-the-air and on local cable but not on any of the satellite services.
Bustos Media used to own the station. In September 2010, Bustos transferred most of its licenses to Adelante Media Group as part of a settlement with its lenders. Adalante sold KBTU-LP, along with WBWT-LP in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to DTV America Corporation for $425,000 on July 16, 2015.
