St. George News launched in September 2010 as a free online daily news outlet covering St. George, Cedar City, and communities across Southern Utah. Founded and overseen since launch by publisher Shane Brinkerhoff, and built in partnership with longtime editor-in-chief Joyce Kuzmanic, the outlet grew into the most visited news website in Southern Utah. In 2017, Canyon Media — Southern Utah's largest radio, advertising, and marketing corporation — acquired a controlling interest in St. George News, integrating it into a multimedia operation that also includes seven radio stations broadcasting to St. George, Cedar City, Mesquite (Nevada), and Page (Arizona). Canyon Media is owned by Kent Frandsen, with Eric Frandsen serving as chief operating officer. In November 2025, St. George News expanded into print, launching a free weekly newspaper delivered to approximately 13,000 homes and distributed at locations throughout St. George. The outlet also operates Cedar City News, launched in May 2014, as well as StGeorgeUtah.com, CedarCityUtah.com, and a Spanish-language site, noticiasstgeorge.com.
