Field notes
The outlet says it launched in October 2026 in response to what it calls one-sided local reporting on Utah’s AI build-out. Its first story reports counts of ETV coverage and identifies Kevin Butler as an Emery Telcom employee who manages ETV and sits on Orangeville’s council. The homepage also lists Standards, Corrections, and RSS, while three additional story subjects remain marked “Coming soon.”
