Utah's Best Cheeseburger Battle is here from the Utah Beef Council. We walk through the contenders. Then, is binge-watching dead? A new report says Netflix originals are losing viewers by Season 2 — we want to hear from YOU: is Netflix losing its steam, or are our phones just winning? Also, Stellantis unveils a $14K EV that could change the game, Health Class tackles whether gray hair is actually reversible and if 30 seconds of exercise can make a real difference.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

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.   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio + YouTube from 1–3 PM.   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

Did you survive the Fourth without personal fireworks? Today we recap our parade experience and want to hear how YOU celebrated America's 250th — then we dig into the fires that broke out despite Utah's statewide ban: a brush fire in Provo's Slate Canyon, a "near-total loss" at the original Costa Vida in Layton after a suspected firework fire collapsed the roof and caused over $1M in damage, and a Kaysville brush fire started by young adults shooting bottle rockets at each other. And of course, THE wedding — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot July 3 at Madison Square Garden with Adam Sandler officiating, Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks performing, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid (who was in Utah this weekend narrating for the Tabernacle Choir's America 250 broadcast) sharing Sandler's best marriage advice: "Keep kissing."    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio + YouTube from 1–3 PM.   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

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!

Happy (almost) birthday, America! The country turns 250 on Saturday, and we're kicking off the Fourth of July weekend with a celebration and a special russian message to America. We talk the most American foods for your Fourth of July cookout. Where should you watch fireworks this weekend? We've got KSL's full guide to professional fireworks shows and drone displays across Utah, including the Bonneville Salt Flats. NOTE: We will NOT be streaming live tomorrow (Friday, July 3).

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!

A daredevil couple scaled the Empire State Building spire, unfurled a peace banner, and got engaged — all before getting arrested. Plus, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's MSG wedding is days away, and the clues keep piling up: a castle inside the Garden, celebrity friends arriving in NYC, and a very telling Carpenters t-shirt. We also talk about America's 250 list of American things, plus Salt Lake City police investigating a string of peacock killings, and a wild grizzly bear encounter caught on camera.   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!

We kick things off with an important Magnolia Bakery question— is Banana Pudding or Red Velvet the superior choice? Drop your vote in the comments! Plus, we investigate the most horrifying, expired food discoveries lurking in the newsroom fridge.    With America's 250th birthday just days away, we dive into the America 250 celebrations list and check in on Sen. John Curtis's America 250 walk. Then we settle the important debate: where do Doug Wright, Ethan, and Alex rank among Utah’s radio hosts?   In wild animal news, a string of alligator attacks in Florida has left three people injured and one dead after a 31-year-old woman was killed while swimming in a river near Orlando. We also have a local wildlife alert: HawkWatch International's Harris's Hawk, Stax, has escaped and was last seen near their Salt Lake City offices. If you spot him, contact @hawkwatch on Instagram! Speaking of hawks — Alex shares his experience with hawks.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Happy Monday! We're counting down to the country's biggest birthday yet — America is about to turn 250, and the celebration plans are massive. Alex breaks down his America 250 list. Then, Disneyland's iconic Autopia ride — the only original 1955 Tomorrowland attraction still standing — is being forced by California to ditch gas-powered cars and go electric by early 2027 or shut down entirely. And in what might be the greatest act of public shame in sports history, South Korea's national broadcaster KBS blurred out head coach Hong Myung-bo's face during his press conference after the team's World Cup exit. Oh, and fireworks are still banned in Utah... but some cities are finding spots to do them.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

We start with our three things, including some devastating news — three wildland firefighters were killed battling fires on the Utah-Colorado border. We break down what happened, where the fires stand, and what it means heading into the Fourth of July. Speaking of the Fourth, Utah's fireworks fight is getting messy. Gov. Cox has restricted fireworks statewide through July 5, but cities are all over the map — Clinton is allowing them, Fruit Heights banned them, and Kaysville is still figuring it out. Tell us what YOUR city is doing. Plus, Pineview Reservoir is getting drained so Ogden can replace a leaky, decades-old pipeline — most of the water will be out by September 15. Also on the show: Amazon Prime Day hit $26.4 billion in spending, a new SLC school turf field has neighbors calling it a stinky heat island, foreign visitors are baffled by America's AC obsession, campground toilets that can actually kill you, UK boys stuck reading at a primary school level, the great pajama travel debate, plus more of our America 250 list.    Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

We start things off with movies that stink! Ethan and Alex debate whether it’s time to consider volunteering as firefighters and provide updates on the latest fire watch. We check in with Steve to see how he’s handling the firework situation under the new ban. Plus, chaotic teens and more adult kids are living with their parents to save money.    What volunteering as a firefighter may look like, PDS red flag warning and what cities have said they are fully banning fireworks and which ones haven’t.    KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Following Governor Cox’s executive order to ban fireworks… Alex went out searching to see if any fireworks can be found in Utah… he brought back a special surprise.

We kick things off with the three things! Utah voters sent shockwaves through the Legislature — Senate President Stuart Adams conceded after trailing challenger Stephanie Hollist, losing his seat. Plus, a lethal rabbit virus returns to Utah for the first time since 2022. We go behind the scenes of wildfire management with North Tooele Fire Department PIO, Jon Smith. Then, Utah Division of Air Quality Director Bryce Bird joins us as Salt Lake City hits #1 worst air quality in the U.S. — what can you actually do to protect yourself and your family? Also, is office attire too casual now? Sunscreen misinformation is spreading on TikTok. And — what is an "otrovert"?   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

The Cottonwood Fire has exploded to nearly 60,000 acres with 0% containment. Eagle Point Resort's Lower Lodge and surrounding condos in southern Utah have been destroyed.. We review stunning Ring doorbell footage and photos showing the devastation. Then — calling someone a "Honda Civic" is the hottest new insult on TikTok (is it the new 6-7?). What car are YOU? We assign cars to Ethan and Alex and ask the chat. Plus, plumbers find a 50-year-old wedding ring lost for nearly a decade, earning today's Good Human Award.   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.

Gas prices are dropping — the national average just fell below $4 for the first time since March, and we break down what Utah drivers are paying at the pump. Plus, West Fest is back with beefed-up safety protocols after last year's shooting, a bee-filled trailer crashes in Yellowstone National Park, and why you might be seeing more black bears this summer. We also debate whether parents should stop tracking their adult kids' locations, check in on GLP-1 news and hear why teens eager to work are struggling to land summer jobs. Then, UDOT's express lane crackdown, price concerns swirling around the new Sundance, and would the NFL ever come to Utah?   Follow KSL Brightside on social media!

Scotland's Tartan Army showed up to the 2026 World Cup in Boston — and drank the entire city dry. Sam Adams says its Boston Taproom sold four times as much beer as on a typical Fourth of July weekend, forcing an emergency Saturday-morning delivery just to keep kegs flowing. One bar tripled its St. Patrick's Day sales. Another ran out of everything. Also, Dallas police got called on rowdy Brits and a Japanese fan who can't speak English but is living his best World Cup life. Is the World Cup actually uniting the world?    Then — Kevin Bacon is temporarily changing his name to Kevin "Bean." We explain why.  The comment section has questions we need to confront — specifically about Doug the chinchilla's burial.   Plus: Senator Curtis is going on a long walk for America 250, and we still want to ask about his hair. Do you get the ick when women drive men around? And a guy on social media is eating at Chinese restaurants until he gets food poisoning — is that genius marketing or just unhinged?   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM.
