KJZZ Café is a time and place where viewers gather together to talk about the significant matters of the day with friends they find thoughtful and intelligent. The Café features three hosts that are grounded in the life experiences shared by most Utahans. As hosts, they will serve up news and issues with a hefty side of observation, analysis, and opinion. Much of that opinion will come from viewers, as the Café opens up its microphones in the studio, on the street, over the phone, and on the internet to serve as a voice for the community. KJZZ Café is dedicated to news and issues that are important, interesting, and inspiring; after all, not all legitimate news is bad news. KJZZ Café is “News Worth Talking About”.

News that is thoughtful, intelligently provocative, relevant, fair and balanced
