KSL Special Edition will air at 4 p.m. and hyper-serve Utahns information about COVID-19.

This will change the line-up of other shows on KSL TV as well.

"Studio 5 is being put on a temporary hiatus in an effort to limit staff interactions with the public and to comply with Gov. Gary Herbert's stay at home directive," said Tanya Vea, senior vice president of Bonneville International Salt Lake.

Brooke Walker and the Studio 5 team will continue to produce new segments, which will be available on digital/social as well as in KSL 5 TV newscasts.

Here is a look at the new lineup.
