WTSF (channel 61) is a
religious
television station licensed to
Ashland, Kentucky , United States, serving the
Huntington –
Charleston, West Virginia
market as an
owned-and-operated station of the
Daystar Television Network . The station's studios are located on Bath Avenue in Ashland, and its transmitter is located on a very short tower in Huntington's
Rotary Park.
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.
