WCTS is a radio station licensed to Maplewood, Minnesota, and serving the Twin Cities metropolitan area with a non-commercial fundamentalist Christian format. WCTS is owned by the Central Baptist Theological Seminary of Minneapolis, hence the call letters.
History
Prior to becoming WCTS, 1030 was WMIN (after the call letters left the now-KMNV in the early 1970s. They aired a full service middle of the road format.
WCTS started broadcasting in 1965 on 100.3 FM, with a format consisting mostly of conservative evangelists and Bible teachings by the Fourth Baptist Church in Minneapolis.
A startup company called Colfax Communications purchased the FM station in early 1993 and in turn, purchased the old WMIN (1030 AM) to sell back to the seminary. Colfax took the FM station off the air for a few months and signed on again as WBOB, picking up a country music format under the "Bob 100" moniker. WMIN became WCTS on February 5, 1993, and seminary programming remains to this day.
