Mormon media seems to be heavily promoting the Romneys today

Most of us have seen how the Mormon church has been putting up billboards everywhere promoting how "normal" and "enviable" Mormons (and by implication, their boy Mitt) are.
I live in a city with a big Mormon broadcast media presence. Now that the GOP convention is under way, it's almost comical how the on-air personalities are devoting their entire shows to gushing over how great the Romneys are. Today must have been "Ann Day" because the usual "banter" between the "hosts" focused almost entirely on how "hard" things have been for poor Ann, and how she is a "true star" of the GOP. One person even said she was "a great asset."
Is it the same in all of their markets? Here's the rundown on the media owned by the Mormon church via their wholly-owned media company Bonneville International:
Salt Lake City: KRSP FM, KSFI FM, KSL AM/FM/TV
Los Angeles: KSWD FM
Seattle: KIRO AM & FM, KTTH AM
Phoenix: KPKX FM, KTAR AM & FM
I'd like to hear from people in these cities about whether they've noticed the same thing. I presume these outlets get their daily rundowns directly from Temple Square.
