Only North Dakota and Oklahoma prohibit enforcement of the non-compete contracts. The only restriction in Utah courts require that non-compete restrictions be “reasonably limited in time and geographic area” in order to be valid and enforceable.
That's a bit misleading. Ignoring laws which generally prohibit non-competes based on annual pay, which many states including Washington have, several states have laws which prohibit enforcing non-competes against broadcast journalists if they are terminated without cause. Washington has such a law (RCW 49.44.190). Utah appears to have a similar law as well (Utah Code 34-51-201). Utah law has some other requirements about being OT exempt and pay threshold, but the important portion is -201(2)(a)(iii) which only allows enforcement if the employee was terminated for cause or for breaching their individual employment agreement.
