The majority of Utahns are at least somewhat disappointed that the Sundance Film Festival will leave Park City in 2027, according to a recent poll.

A Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll conducted by HarrisX revealed that 31% of Utahns are very disappointed while 25% are somewhat disappointed.

Gov. Spencer Cox says the departure "has been the best thing that could have happened."

He went on to talk about the significant interest in filling the hole Sundance Film Festival will leave behind with something else, Margaret Darby reported.

“The number of people interested in doing something bigger and better than Sundance is off the charts,” Cox said. “You’ll start to see some of those plans come out over the next month.”

I would like to hear your thoughts on Sundance.

Tell me: Do you wish Sundance was staying in Utah or are you glad it's leaving?

Here's how Utah voters want Congress to spend money

Utah voters would prefer Congress to spend more money on assistance to the poor and spend less on foreign aid, according to a recent poll.

Voters overwhelmingly believe the government spends too little on education and assistance to the poor with only 15% and 16% of respondents saying too much money is dedicated to those areas, Cami Mondeaux reported.

Here are some more results from the Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll conducted by HarrisX:

A majority of Utahns (56%) said the government spends too much on foreign aid. 59% said the government spends too little on education. 54% said it spends the right amount on federal law enforcement agencies. 47% said the government should spend more on assistance to the poor.

The NHL stormed into Utah last April: A look at Year 1

Salt Lake City is showing itself to be a hockey town. One year ago today, Ryan and Ashley Smith bought the franchise and moved it to Salt Lake City, rebranding the National Hockey League team as the Utah Hockey Club.

Since then, every game was a sellout, Dennis Romboy reported. Fans painted the city with rock black, midnight blue and salt white UHC gear — 32,000 hats and 17,000 inaugural season jerseys sold.

“This was a test year. It’s about to get fun," Ryan Smith said.

Here are three quotes about the Utah Hockey Club's inaugural year:

UHC defenseman Sean Durzi: “My standard was set pretty high from that welcome, and it exceeded it. It’s almost like the fans kind of sense something special, not only with us but with the state. Everywhere we go now, everyone’s talking about hockey.”

UHC general manager Bill Armstrong: “We’re in a better place. We’re in a place that we’ve got fans that are very passionate about our team. I can’t tell you how excited people in Utah are about hockey. It’s crazy."

Chris Barney, Smith Entertainment Group president of revenue and commercial strategy: “We get questions from other franchises all the time like, ‘How the heck did you guys pull that off?’ It’s just really a testament to all our employees. There’s really no ifs, ands or buts about it. The city stepped up, the county stepped up, the state stepped up. Anyone and everyone was willing to help us.”
