 Syndicated programming on KUTV includes "Family Feud" and "Entertainment Tonight".KUTV broadcasts "CBS This Morning" on a one-hour delay, as the station's weekday morning newscast into the 8 a.m. hour (it is one of several remaining CBS affiliates that do not carry the program in its standard 7 a.m. timeslot); the first hour of "CBS This Morning" instead airs at 8 a.m., while the second hour airs on sister station KMYU at 9 a.m.

KUTV presently broadcasts 36½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 6½ hours each weekday and two hours each on Saturdays and Sundays); in addition, KUTV produces a half-hour weeknight 7 p.m. newscast for KMYU, who also simulcasts KUTV's 10 p.m. newscast on Monday through Friday nights.Following its sign-on, KUTV became the leading news station in Utah, in part owing to its roots with the "Salt Lake Tribune".
