Digital Television
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
| Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.1 | 720p | 16:9 | KSL-HD | Main KSL-TV programming / NBC |
| 5.2 | 480i | 4:3 | KSL-US | Live Well Network |
| 5.3 | 16:9 | KSL-Wx | "Live 5 Weather Channel" |
On June 12, 2009, KSL shut down its analog transmitter and converted its television broadcasts exclusively to digital, remaining on its pre-transition UHF channel 38. However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display KSL's virtual channel as the station's former analog channel 5.
On January 1, 2009 KSL discontinued their version of NBC Weather Plus due to discontinuation of the service by NBC, and relaunched the 5.3 subchannel as a locally-compiled automated weather channel, Live 5 Weather Channel, which unlike most digital weather subchannels airs in 480i widescreen. KSL-TV also carried Universal Sports until it moved exclusively to cable and satellite distribution in January 2012, it was replaced by Live Well Network.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“So why do people keep on watching? The answer, by now, should be perfectly obvious: we love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist. In fact, deep in their hearts, this is what the spuds crave most: a rich, new, participatory life.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
