Mormon church-owned Utah NBC affiliate to air SNL

By BRADY McCOMBS | Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Mormon church-owned NBC television station in Utah plans to begin airing first-run Saturday Night Live episodes this fall after years of refusing to air the popular comedy show.

KSL-TV's Tami Ostmark says the move is part of a plan to make the station's lineup stronger and improve its relationship with NBC.

KSL-TV is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has not aired certain shows over the years due to violent or inappropriate content. But Ostmark says content was never the issue with SNL. She says the station didn't want to bump a popular sports show that aired at the same time.

First-run episodes of Saturday Night Live have previously aired on Utah's CW30 affiliate, KUCW.
KSL-TV announced the decision Wednesday on its Facebook page.

Good News/Bad News: SNL on Yahoo

Yahoo to Buy Rights to SNL Archive

The good news: Yahoo have acquired the rights to air Saturday Night Live from 1975 to 2012.
The bad news: Once it happens, both Netflix and Hulu will discontinue airing SNL repeats.

My reaction:

Wild and Crazy Guy now First-Time Dad

Congrats to Steve Martin.

Chris Kattan as Bane

Only thing missing is the Latino accent.
