NBCUniversal buys four more Telemundo TV stations in Utah

NBCUniversal announced in December that it had reached an agreement to buy full-power station KTMW-Channel 20 in Salt Lake City and three low-power stations — KULX-CD in Ogden, K17II-LD in Logan and KULU-LD in Park City — from Serestar Communications. The $21 million deal includes three low-power stations in Sacramento and Stockton, Calif.

In addition, NBCUniversal terminated its agreement with Serestar to operate the local Telemundo station it already owned, KEJT-CD in Salt Lake City. All five Utah TV stations will now be operated by the Telemundo Station Group. (Telemundo is owned by NBCUniversal.)
