WTSF is a religious television station in the Huntington-Charleston, West Virginia market, which covers parts of that state, eastern Kentucky and southeastern Ohio. It operates on Channel 61. It is assigned digital channel 44, but does not broadcast in digital. While the station is licensed to Ashland, Kentucky and it's offices and studio are located in Ashland, its transmitter is located on on a very short tower in Huntington's city park.

The station signed on as a commercial venture 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 religious network and, with a few exceptions, ended local programming.

While it was locally produced, the bulk of the channel's programming consisted of fund raising to continue broadcasting.
