Since 1853, 152 brave men and women have been killed while trying to protect their communities. Tonight, Utahns will come together to remember and honor our law enforcement officers who've died in the line of duty. Most recent were the August 17, 2025, murders of Tremonton-Garland Police Department officers Sgt. Lee Sorensen and Officer Eric Estrada. President of the Utah Law Enforcement Memorial Pat Evans explains the significance of tonight's ceremony.

Today, KSL learned that the group behind the controversial data center in Box Elder County has pulled their water rights application.

Greg and Holly also discuss the Governor's ongoing trip back east, as he tries to bring more business and technology to the Beehive State.

Women and community members are coming together this week to build four homes in Tooele County. It's part of the annual "Women Build" event by the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity.

Evidence over the past several decades shows that when women do better, society does better. But are we helping women to be successful... or are we adding more pressure to certain groups of women? This segment, Holly and Greg talk about working moms -- the ones who get up early and take care of the kids, just to go to work and take care of the adult children. Is society actually helping them so they can be most successful? Dr. Susan Madsen, founder and director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project shares her insights.

It probably feels like the never-ending story: congressional map redistricting. Things may have settled down here in Utah... for now, at least. But across the country, the recent ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court and primary wins for Trump-backed Republican candidates have many states looking to redo their maps. With just a few months to go, we're back to redrawing maps and pushing pause on primary elections.

A new depression therapy focuses on finding joy, not just eliminating sadness. And at Utah State University, a program aims to improve youth mental health by getting kid outside under the night sky.

Among the many laws that just went into effect here in Utah is the law changing voter information privacy. Thanks to Senate Bill 153, only certain eligible voters can ask that certain personal information be withheld. But to do that, the voter had to request an "at-risk" designation… by yesterday. Weber County Clerk-Auditor Ricky Hatch joins to explain the changes and what to do it you missed the deadline.
