KSL branches off from Bonneville International

Excerpts of KSL-AM, FM & TV going its own way
--
Deseret Management Corp. (DMC), the company through which the Mormon Church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) owns its media properties, is reorganizing its home market of Salt Lake City. KSL-TV (NBC) and KSL NewsRadio will leave Bonneville International for a new KSL Broadcast Division – but that doesn't affect Bonneville's other two SLC radio stations.

The KSL Broadcast Division will be guided by Bob Johnson, who will serve as president and chief executive officer.

The other new division is the Deseret Digital Media Division (DDM), which will manage the websites and business operations for DeseretBook.com, DeseretNews.com, KSL.com, LDSChurchNews.com and Mormontimes.com. DDM will be led by Clark Gilbert, who will serve as its President and CEO.
