kSL Apps are Terrible.
The KSL News app along with all of the reprogramming of the KSL apps make it impossible to view stories without the app freezing up when opening up a story of interest.

Annouing UCCU Ad
Recently, whenever a news story is pulled up the on the app the audio of a loud UCCU advertisement starts playing, and when scrolling down to find the annoying ad and clicking to pause the audio it then opens a new page to UCCU. I have to close the app to get it to shut up. I can't even use the app anymore because the ad automatically plays on nearly every news story. UPDATE: KSL responded to my rating and updated the app fixing the problem. Thank you KSL!

When did Auto-Play ads start?
Updated: I received an almost immediate response from the app developer with an app update to remove the auto-play ad feature. Really appreciated that!
Deleting this app until ‘autoplay ads’ are turned OFF by default. That’s never happened before but now autoplay ads for banking start every time I open an article. There’s no way to turn this off in Settings.

Get rid of auto playing video ads that can’t be paused
Update: The developers saw my review and said they released an update to fix the unexpected audio issue - much appreciated. Overall it’s a good app now that is fixed. There are a couple things keeping me from giving it 5 stars. Articles linked to external sites consistently freeze up, and unable to scroll to read or return to the news feed - must close the app and reopen to fix. Also, I’ve noticed there are a number of news articles that are on the KSL website, but they never show up in the app (or in some cases, show up a few days later) - not sure why the app seems to be a limited and sometimes delayed version of their website news. Any national news stories can usually be found through other news networks a couple/few days before they show up in this app.
Original review: I’ve enjoyed the app for several years, but the new video ads that auto play are driving me nuts. They auto play with sound, and they cannot be paused or stopped. If you try to pause or mute them, they instead open your browser and take you to their sales webpage. I immediately close the app now whenever one of these ads starts playing. This is becoming a deal breaker for me and this app, and I will likely delete the app soon unless this improves.
