Premiere of Granite Flats Season 2: The second season of BYUtv’s first original scripted series debuts at 9 and 10 p.m. ET (7 and 8 p.m. MT). The first season can be found on byutv.org in its entirety. Granite Flats is the network’s first scripted series, and has been a massive undertaking. It’s the next big thing for BYUtv and marks a change of course as the station focuses less on BYU internally and more on reaching out to, and meeting the needs of, a national audience. With Granite Flats, BYUtv is trying to fill a decade-long void of this kind of programming — the type of show that the whole family can sit around the TV and enjoy together.
