KUTF (channel 12) is areligious television station licensed toLogan, Utah, United States, serving theSalt Lake City area as anowned-and-operated station of theDaystar Television Network. The station's transmitter is located on Cal Mountain nearTremonton, Utah.

The channel 12 frequency in Logan previously belonged toKUSU-TV, anon-commercial educational station owned and operated byUtah State University which broadcast from 1964 to 1970. The KUTF calls were used previously from 1989 until 1992 for what is nowKRCW-TV inSalem, Oregon, which serves thePortland market.

KUTF was founded June 9, 2000, byEquity Media Holdings and launched on January 1, 2001, as aUnivision affiliate, then shifted to Univision's secondary network, TeleFutura (the current-dayUniMás) in 2005. At one point, it was simulcast in Salt Lake City vialow-power station K45GX in Salt Lake City. Equity co-managed the station withProvo-licensed KCBU (nowKUTH-DT, channel 32), which was owned by Univision itself but operated by Equity.

KUTF was part of a lot of stations sold at auction to Daystar on April 16, 2009, along with sister stationKCBU inPrice, which originally operated as a KUTF simulcast but by 2005, took on several English-language networks operated by Equity.^[2] On the digital transition date of June 12, the station's analog transmitter wentdark. Univision then purchased KUTH outright, and transitioned TeleFutura in the market to that station's second subchannel.

Daystar completed KUTF's digital facilities before the June 12, 2010, deadline to resume operations, and went on the air with Daystar programming on April 21. Daystar decided to pursue pay-TV coverage across Utah with KUTF rather than bring KCBU back on the air, and that station's license was canceled on July 6 of the same year.

The station's signal ismultiplexed:

Because it was granted an originalconstruction permit after theFCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997,^[4] the station did not receive a companion channel for a digitaltelevision station. Instead, at the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KUTF turned off itsanalog signal on June 12, 2009, and resumed broadcasting on the same channel with adigital signal (called a "flash-cut"), though it stayed dark until April 21, 2010, when Daystar activated its digital channel.
