KUTR (820 AM) is a Contemporary Christian formatted radio station in Salt Lake City Utah. The radio station is owned by Julie Epperson.

At its inception KUTR was a female talk station featuring local and national talk programs.[3] KUTR was owned by Bonneville International, who struggled to find a format for the station. Due to low ratings Bonneville dropped the talk format and the station carried 24/7 LDS music, using the "Soft Sunday Sounds" branding of its sister-station, KSFI-FM.[4][5] KUTR, when owned by Bonneville, acquired HD Radio for the station; however, the station was forced to turn HD off during the night to avoid interference with other stations. In 2008 the station was sold to Julie Epperson and began airing a Christian contemporary format, mixed with talk.[6]

Today KUTR under its new owner maintains the HD signal, but there have been times when it is not operating.[7] As of November 30, 2018, KUTR is no longer broadcasting in HD.

KUTR is licensed to Taylorsville; however, the towers for the station are located outside Cedar Fort.[8]
