Utah’s Heat Wave, One Fireworks Ticket & Freeride Olympic Skiing!?

A dangerous heat wave is heading for Utah this weekend — Extreme Heat Warnings are in effect with temps expected to hit 104–107°F along the Wasatch Front. Then, how many tickets did SLC police hand out for illegal fireworks over July Fourth? Just one. We'll talk about whether the ban actually worked.

Plus, Rice-Eccles Stadium could be getting new premium suites in the north end zone (don't freak out, north end zone fans — Mark Harlan says it won't block your view). Airbnb is offering $750 bonuses to new hosts in World Cup cities, and hosts are already averaging $3K payouts during the tournament. We'll also dive into the new sports being considered for Utah's 2034 Winter Olympics — including freeride skiing and snowboarding — and whether Russia could return to the Games.

Plus, the cyberbullying conversation is being brought up as we learn more about the death of Storage Wars' star Darrell Sheets. KSL TV’s Mike Anderson on Utah's booming data center coverage, an active SLC fire, and the AI question of the day.
