The average new vehicle now costs more than $51,000! For that price, the heated seats better cook dinner and the backup camera better find some hidden treasure, right!? At the same time, a new review of data from TransUnion and the Federal Reserve found that people living in Utah added the most debt to their personal finances between the beginning of July and the end of September. What's driving U...

The West built two giant reservoirs: Lake Powell and Lake Mead. But what if there isn’t enough water to save both? Which one gets priority, and what would that mean for Utah? That’s the question raised in a new Deseret News story. And it puts a pretty stark choice on the table: How do you manage a river when everyone who depends on it needs more water than it can deliver? For details o...

Housing remains a top priority for Utahns in terms of both affordability and inventory. Two stories in the news caught our eyes today, so we turn to Russell Faucette, owner of The Stern Team and co-founder of Omada Real Estate . He discusses a rise in condos being for sale plus a downward trend of home prices across the board.

Utah ski and snowboard resorts are preparing for what will hopefully be a really good snow season. We obviously want a good winter for the water, but snow sports are so popular that it's good for them too. Ahead of the season officially starting, SkiUtah held a news conference today previewing the season. Greg and Holly talk about their excitement for winter and dip into a part of the conference.

There are some sacrifices we can see: a uniform, a deployment, an empty chair at the dinner table. And there are others we may never fully understand: time away from a child who’s growing up, the strain of being far from home when someone you love needs you, memories that don’t fade when the uniform comes off. On this Veterans Day, we pause to honor the men and women who have served. N...

After an amazing run on the radio -- 40 years on the airwaves and close to 37 years here at KSL -- our own Amanda Dickson is hanging up the mic and is taking a well-deserved break in retirement. You've listened to her on Utah's Morning News for decades, but she'll sign off one last time tomorrow. Ahead of her final day, Inside Sources chats with KSL NewsRadio's Amanda Dickson about her long career...

As Republicans prepare to be in the minority in Congress next year, they've picked their leadership. And let's just say the more things change, the more they stay the same. At least that's how Greg and Holly feel about the choices. Senate Republicans picked Senator John Thune to lead them -- he's been the Senate minority leader for a while now. In the House, Republicans picked Representative Jim J...

41 years behind bars — much of it on death row. Now Douglas Carter is out on bail, and tested crime-scene DNA doesn’t match him. But Utah County prosecutors are still pursuing charges in the 1985 killing of Eva Olesen. Carter's conviction was overturned and now a judge is weighing whether his disputed confession can be used at trial. So what does that DNA evidence mean and what would j...

A child tells you someone in their video-game chat needs help. Do you assume it’s somebody making up a story, or do you take it seriously? This story floored us this morning -- it's an update to a story we first brought you last week about a Utah teen who was found in Oregon after being missing for a year and a half. According to NBC News, she was found after reaching out to another teen thr...

In today's final segment, Greg and Holly introduce listeners (and livestream viewers) to Bryce, the new "Puppy with a Purpose" for the Utah Mammoth. His name is spelled with a "y" but Greg and Holly both think it should have been with an "I" and pronounced, Brrrrrrr-ice!

What do we hope our kids carry with them when they leave home? Not just a packed suitcase, but faith, purpose, and the confidence that they belong. Believe, belong, and become -- those three words guide the refreshed Latter-day Saint youth program and invite a bigger conversation too: How do we help the next generation build a faith of their own while knowing we’re still standing beside them...

When you drive around Utah, roadside cameras can read your license plate. We've talked about these a few times now -- people have a lot of concerns. So who’s making sure the people with access to that information are using it appropriately? That’s the question behind a new investigation from KSL Investigator Daniella Rivera,  uncovered a former detective’s misuse of license...

Your kid comes home with a bad grade -- do you get them a tutor, or an attorney? The Wall Street Journal reports that some parents are taking disputes over grades and classroom treatment beyond the principal’s office and into court. Now, if a school genuinely mistreats your child, you should fight for them. Teachers aren’t above accountability. But neither are our kids, right? So where...

Should billionaires pay more in taxes? That was essentially the question at the heart of a proposition in California. If approved, it would have imposed a one-time 5% tax on Californians whose wealth exceeds one billion dollars. It took almost a week from Election Day, but the Associated Press has finally called the race -- and it failed. Would this have been a good idea? Or simply a bad business...

Christmas may have a wish list, but your budget has a veto. The newest inflation report came out this morning, and it shows prices are still putting pressure on family budgets. But forget the economic charts for a minute. What’s the expense that changed how your family lives -- not just for a month, but for good? Groceries? Insurance? Child care? What did you give up that you haven’t b...

Hundreds of thousands of Rocky Mountain Customers got a notice in the mail over the last week that caught many by surprise. The notice tells customers that they'll soon pay a $4/month fee to pay for clean energy. It's not applicable to all customer; only to those who live in 16 different communities around the state. With more on what the fee is and what it'll go towards, Inside Sources turns to D...

You turn up the thermostat, the heat kicks on, and most of us don’t give it another thought. But how does that natural gas actually get to your house? And here’s another question: If natural gas comes out of the ground without a smell, why does a gas leak smell so bad? These are some of the questions being answered at Utah STEM Fest today and tomorrow. Greg and Holly "nerd out" a littl...

Speaker Mike Schultz says the legislature made a mistake in the way it handled data center development. Speaking to the Deseret News/KSL Editorial Board, the Speaker said MIDA (Military Installation Development Agency) should not have been involved in data center plans around the state. He now says the process for data center development needs reform in the legislature, and it could result in givi...

Court will come to session and Tyler Robinson will be on trial for the murder of Charlie Kirk beginning in June of 2028. It's later than the Kirk family wanted, but earlier than the defense wanted. So is it a good balance? But it's still so long away and it's scheduled to last 105 days -- about 3.5 months. KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas gives his takes on the continued delays that seem to plague t...

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was pretty mad this morning as he addressed impeachment calls from members of Congress.

We're reading today that all-terrain wheelchairs are now available in all five parks, making the outdoors a bit more reachable for all...

Greg's on Cloud 9 this morning following the University of Utah's win over the BYU Cougars on Saturday. Despite both teams coming in with drive, the Utes came out on top. As such, they've now moved to #2 in the AP Top 10 Poll and BYU has fallen off the list (sorry, Holly). So what's to come for both the Utes and the Cougars? Inside Sources speaks with KSL.com sports director Josh Furlong to get hi...
