The weekly program “Music & the Spoken Word” is now airing in Spanish every Sunday at 5 p.m. MDT on Telemundo Utah, channel 20. The first broadcast is Sunday, June 15, 2025.
This is an important milestone for The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square’s 96-year-old program. It will help the Choir expand its reach in Utah’s Spanish-speaking community. The Choir first began broadcasting “Music & the Spoken Word” in Spanish on its Spanish YouTube channel in 2023.
“‘Music & the Spoken Word’ is the Choir’s gift of inspiration to the world,” said Tabernacle Choir President Michael O. Leavitt. “We are grateful that Telemundo Utah will begin sharing ‘Music & the Spoken Word’ this Sunday, allowing more of God’s children to hear the weekly messages of hope and peace in their own language.”
The Spanish version of the program features the same musical performances by The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square, along with translated messages from the weekly spoken word segment. The broadcasts on Telemundo Utah will reach thousands of new viewers and families each week.

“‘Music & the Spoken Word’ has always been about inspiring hearts and connecting people through music and messages of hope,” said Terry Hritz, managing director of Bonneville Distribution. “We’re thrilled to expand this tradition to Spanish-speaking viewers in partnership with Telemundo Utah.”
This news about “Music & the Spoken Word” airing on Telemundo comes one month before the Choir will mark another significant milestone. The 5,000th broadcast of “Music & the Spoken Word” will take place on Sunday, July 13, 2025. These achievements underscore the Choir’s enduring legacy of sharing comfort, faith, and inspiration with a global audience, continuing its mission to connect people through music and messages of hope.
