KUTF is a Daystar owned-and-operated station in Logan, Utah that serves the Salt Lake City media market which broadcasts in digital on channel 12. Prior to June 2009, it was a Spanish-language television station owned by Equity Media Holdings and affiliated with TeleFutura. Founded June 9, 2000 and launched on January 1, 2001, the station was at one point simulcast on analog low-power K45GX in Salt Lake City. There are now no longer any Federal Communications Commission records of that repeater.
The channel 12 frequency in Logan previously belonged to KUSU-TV, an educational station owned and operated by Utah State University, which broadcast during the 1960s, while the call letters KUTF originally belonged to the CW affiliate in Portland/Salem, Oregon, KRCW-TV.
KUTF was sold at auction to Daystar on April 16, 2009, indicating a programming change is planned. On the digital transition date of June 12, the station's analog transmitter went dark. With Univision gaining full control of now former sister station KUTH-DT, TeleFutura (now UniMás) programming was later added to KUTH-DT's second digital subchannel.
After Daystar took over in 2009, the station finally completed its digital transmission facilities and resumed broadcasting on April 21, 2010 with Daystar programming. KCBU in Price, acquired in the same group deal as KUTF, never completed its digital transition and its license was cancelled on July 6, 2010. As a result, KUTF covers only the northern half of the market.
