SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — KSL NewsRadio is launching a new daily podcast designed to help listeners stay informed without slowing down. KSL News Daily, hosted by veteran journalist Maria Shilaos, delivers the day’s biggest local story plus headlines, in a quick, engaging format that fits into even the busiest schedule. The show also does a deep dive into an important story with the aim of better understanding.
Released each weekday, KSL News Daily cuts through the noise to bring listeners the stories that matter most—what’s happening, why it matters, and the three things you need to know before heading into your day. With Maria Shilaos’ trusted reporting and conversational style, the podcast offers a fresh take on the news that’s informative, approachable, and easy to make part of a daily routine.
Shilaos says delivering information in a fresh way could reach a new audience. “It’s so exciting to deliver in-depth news coverage in a new way on a platform that meets people where and when they want to find their news. It’s a privilege for me to take our listeners behind the scenes of stories that frame the important decisions they make for the health, safety and prosperity of their families.”
As one of Utah’s most trusted voices in news, Maria brings decades of experience covering the stories that shape Utah communities. KSL News Daily builds on that tradition while embracing the growing need for on-demand audio, giving audiences a convenient way to stay connected wherever they are.
“Maria is one of the most dedicated journalists I’ve worked with, and I’m thrilled to see her bring that rigor to a podcast format.”, said Sheryl Worsley, Vice President of KSL NewsRadio and Podcasts. “A daily show built around a single story gives us the room to go deeper – to deliver the kind of depth Utahns deserve and don’t always get. We’re incredibly proud to be producing this.”
KSL News Daily will be available on all major podcast platforms, including KSL Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever listeners get their podcasts. New episodes will be released each weekday.
