WFTC

WFTC channel 29 (21 digital) is a television station broadcasting to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, serving Minnesota and western Wisconsin. It has been on the air since 1982, when the station first signed on as WFBT, a Christian station airing family-oriented programming consisting of classic reruns and religious programming. WFBT (Family Bible Television) was sold to secular concerns in 1984, and became KITN. For most of its existence, from the mid-1980s until late 2001, the station was a Fox affiliate. This even led to the call sign change in 1994, which stood for "We're Fox Twin Cities". When the station merged operations with KMSP channel 9, the two stations swapped affiliations. Channel 9 is now a Fox affiliate and 29 is part of the United Paramount Network (UPN).

The station had been owned by Clear Channel Communications for a time up until 2001. It is now owned by Fox parent News Corporation along with KMSP. WFTC's transmitter is co-located on KMSP's tower in Shoreview, Minnesota.
