Overview

WDMI-LD is a low-power television station licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the United States. It operates as an affiliate of the Daystar Television Network, a faith-based Christian broadcast network founded in 1993 by Marcus and Joni Lamb. Daystar describes itself as the largest Christian broadcast network in the world, with programming distributed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across broadcast television, streaming, and mobile apps. WDMI-LD is one of the many local stations that carry Daystar's interdenominational, family-friendly programming to viewers in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul market. As a low-power station, WDMI-LD serves a local over-the-air audience within the Minneapolis area, while Daystar's broader distribution reaches a global audience through satellite, cable, streaming, and digital platforms. Daystar's stated mission is "to reach souls with the good news of Jesus Christ," and its programming includes talk shows, teaching programs, worship, and news content produced by the network and its partners. The network reports being available in over 2.4 billion homes worldwide and reaching over 7.3 billion people through its various distribution channels. WDMI-LD's role is primarily as a distribution outlet for Daystar content in its local market. The station is part of a large list of Daystar affiliates across the United States, which the network maintains to provide over-the-air access to its programming. The station's branding and operations are tied to the Daystar network, and it does not produce significant independent local programming of its own. Its call sign follows the standard American low-power television naming convention, with the "-LD" suffix indicating a low-power digital station. Because WDMI-LD is a local affiliate rather than a standalone media company, its history and operations are closely linked to those of the Daystar Television Network. The network was founded in 1993 and has grown from a single station in the Dallas–Fort Worth area into a global Christian broadcaster. WDMI-LD represents one node in that distribution network, bringing Daystar's programming to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul television market.

History

WDMI-LD is a low-power television station licensed to Minneapolis, Minnesota. It operates as an affiliate of the Daystar Television Network, a Christian broadcast network founded in 1993 by Marcus and Joni Lamb. Daystar began as a single Christian station in the Dallas–Fort Worth market (KMPX) and grew into what it describes as the largest Christian broadcast network in the world. The network distributes interdenominational, family-friendly programming 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through broadcast television, satellite, cable, streaming, and mobile apps. As part of Daystar's affiliate network, WDMI-LD carries the network's programming to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul television market. Daystar maintains a large list of affiliates across the United States to provide over-the-air access to its content. WDMI-LD's call sign follows the standard American low-power television naming convention, with the "-LD" suffix indicating a low-power digital station. The station's history is therefore intertwined with the expansion of Daystar's national distribution footprint rather than with independent local broadcasting. Daystar's programming includes talk shows such as Joni Table Talk, teaching programs, worship content, and news. The network reports being available in over 2.4 billion homes worldwide and reaching over 7.3 billion people. WDMI-LD serves as one local access point for this content in Minnesota. Specific launch dates, ownership changes, or technical milestones for WDMI-LD itself are not detailed in the available evidence.
