KUTV EXTRA was a news magazine type show that aired from 1977 to 1984 and had unique and diverse segments. The program attracted a new generation of filmmakers who took advantage of new possibilities in production, pre-recorded programming and genre to create their own unique mesh of critical exposés, short subject documentaries, experimental video, and in-depth interviews with local oddballs, Utah politicians, and national personalities from Robert Redford and George Romero to Timothy Leary and Harvey Milk. EXTRA fostered a legacy of programming that provides a historical snapshot of art and culture during a time of marked social change and technological development in Utah and throughout the nation.
