History

Bonneville International was formed with approval of the LDS First Presidency in 1964. Consolidating KSL (AM), KSL-TV, and other broadcast assets, the company purchased Seattle, Washington radio and TV stations that year including KIRO (AM). These stations were divested in 1997 and reacquired 10 years later.[1] The company has also owned stations in New York City, Dallas, Kansas City, and Los Angeles at one point.

Bonneville prides itself on "values-oriented programming," and community involvement which was advocated by the company's first president, Arch L. Madsen. According to Bonneville International's website, their values reflect an understanding that "families are the basic unit of society...and that strong families build strong communities."

Due to an FCC media cross-ownership rule, Bonneville was unable to purchase additional media outlets in Salt Lake City beyond its existing television and radio station (KSL-TV and KSL Radio). In anticipation of a rule change, Bonneville purchased four additional Salt Lake radio stations in 2002. The FCC did not grant approval for this purchase until 2003, upon which the stations were acquired by Bonneville. The status of this deal is still uncertain -- the FCC has only granted a waiver to Bonneville, and a recent court ruling has put the FCC cross-ownership rule changes into question.

WETA would also receive WGMS' entire music library, hired WGMS' last program director, and also retained the usage of the WGMS call sign.
