  • White House Taps Alien Hunter, Taylor Swift Wedding Confirmed? & Your State's Favorite Chip

    White House Taps Alien Hunter, Taylor Swift Wedding Confirmed? & Your State's Favorite Chip
    Jul 1 2026
    A Harvard professor known for his polarizing theories about extraterrestrial life has been tapped to lead a new White House UFO advisory council — so it's an excuse to talk about aliens. Plus, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Madison Square Garden wedding is basically confirmed according to a law enforcement official who spoke with the Associated Press, Medicare is launching a pilot program that could unleash a wave of weight-loss drug prescriptions, and Utah is restricting target shooting in 16 counties due to wildfire risk. We also dig into a luggage scam targeting checked bags just in time for holiday travel, firefighters facing threats over fireworks bans, the FDA's big nicotine pouch decision, your state's most popular potato chip, and the great hot dog vs. hamburger debate. Happy America 250 week. KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio plus YouTube from 1–3 PM. Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

    Will Caitlyn Make It to the Wedding of the Century? Plus: Your Fourth of July Survival Guide
    Jul 2 2026
    It's the Fourth of July Eve Eve show and we're getting you ready for the long weekend. We start with Three Things: UDOT road closures and holiday travel tips (61.4 million Americans are expected to drive this weekend), the Twilight baggage drop update, and the heartwarming story of Golden Healers' therapy dogs visiting ash-covered firefighters battling Utah's Iron and Cherry fires. From there — the perfect American hot dog, where you CAN legally set off fireworks (hello, Bonneville Salt Flats), 10 items banned from national parks, and a real talk on fireworks safety. Then we get into the wild stuff: people are literally going to therapy because AI broke their brains. We price out how much it would cost for Caitlyn to get to NYC for Taylor Swift’s wedding. We wrap with the America 250 list as the country turns 250 on Saturday. KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio plus YouTube from 1–3 PM. Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

  • World Cup Red Card Drama, Sony Ditches Discs & KSL's Data Center Deep Dive

    World Cup Red Card Drama, Sony Ditches Discs & KSL's Data Center Deep Dive
    Jul 6 2026
    We kick off with three things you need to know — including a Fourth of July firework and fire update, water-wise landscaping saving millions of gallons at the new Utah State Prison, and more. Then we break down the controversial World Cup red card reversal for the U.S. team and what actually happened on the field. We ask whether leisure actually makes us happy (spoiler: often not), and react to Sony's announcement that it will stop making physical PlayStation discs in January 2028 — a move that has gamers fired up. Plus, back-to-school bargain hunting is already underway, and we look at whether EV batteries are outlasting expectations. KSL Investigative Reporter Daniella Rivera joins us in studio to preview part of KSL’s special series, "Beyond Box Elder — The Bet on Data Centers," which takes viewers inside Virginia's Loudoun County, the data center capital of the world, for lessons on what's coming to Utah.

  • The 20-degree AC Rule, AI Prescriptions and Are Girl Dads Better Bosses?

    The 20-degree AC Rule, AI Prescriptions and Are Girl Dads Better Bosses?
    Jul 7 2026
    We're kicking off with Three Things: Utah's Babylon Fire becomes the first to hit 100,000 acres in eight years, Eureka preps for flooding in the fire's aftermath, and we mark one year since the deadly Camp Mystic flooding in Texas. Plus, the U.S. Men's Soccer Team is out of the World Cup. Then — triple-digit heat is here, and we break down the 20-degree AC rule every homeowner should know (but probably won't follow). We dig into Utah's new automated prescription refill program and where AI fits in healthcare, plus why some wealthy families are letting their kids be guinea pigs for AI-powered schools. Is passive income the new American Dream? Ethan shares ideas and warnings you may not have thought of. And to close it out, why girl dads may actually be better bosses, and how do you really ban your teen from social media? Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

  • Brigham City Cracks Down on Crypto Kiosks | Liberty Arch Sparks Debate | Nestlé Tweaks Recipes for GLP-1 Palates

    Brigham City Cracks Down on Crypto Kiosks | Liberty Arch Sparks Debate | Nestlé Tweaks Recipes for GLP-1 Palates
    Jul 8 2026
    Salt Lake Valley deals with two damaging overnight house fires in Herriman and Millcreek, plus a Layton brush fire is now out. Then, Brigham City is putting its foot down on crypto kiosks — but what even are these machines and why is the city making them a crime? A planned 60-foot Liberty Arch in Utah is sparking patriotism but also raising concerns about its location. Ethan has a strong take about it. Gen Z is taking group trips but not getting paid back and how loud budgeting is helping set financial boundaries. A man is found living in a national park surrounded by 100 pounds of trash. Nestlé is tweaking food recipes to appeal to duller GLP-1 palates. BYU students are working with Utah's Department of Natural Resources to keep birds away from the Provo airport. Plus we check in with KSL TV’s Sam Farnsworth from the Big 12 Media Days in Dallas. KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM. Catch the YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM, then join us on radio and YouTube from 1–3 PM. Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

    Utah's Heat Wave Is Coming, One Fireworks Ticket & New Olympic Sports for 2034 A dangerous heat wave is heading for Utah this weekend — Extreme Heat Warnings are in effect with temps expected to hit 104–107°F along the Wasatch Front. Then, how many tickets did SLC police hand out for illegal fireworks over the July Fourth holiday? Just one. We'll talk about whether the ban actually worked. Plus, Rice-Eccles Stadium could be getting new premium suites in the north end zone (don't freak out, north end zone fans — Mark Harlan says it won't block your view). Airbnb is offering $750 bonuses to new hosts in World Cup cities, and hosts are already averaging $3K payouts during the tournament. We'll also dive into the new sports being considered for Utah's 2034 Winter Olympics — including freeride skiing and snowboarding — and whether Russia could return to the Games. Plus, the cyberbullying conversation being brought up as we learn more about the death of Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets. KSL TV’s Mike Anderson on Utah's booming data center coverage, an active SLC fire, and the AI question of the day.
