History
WTSF signed on as a commercial independent television station in September 1982. However, it was not successful and was soon donated to a local religious group. It continued as such until 2003 when the station was sold to the Daystar national charismatic Christian network and, with a few exceptions, ended local programming.
While it was locally produced, the bulk of the channel's programming consisted of fundraising to continue broadcasting.
