KOAP

KOAP is the TCN affiliate licensed to serve the Minneapolis area. It is owned by Bahakel Communications.
== History ==
KOAP signed on the air on April 6, 1999, as an affiliate of The Chance Network, which had celebrated its first birthday a few months prior. Bahakel Communications had WFQX, the Fox affiliate in Quaker City, Florida (which they owned), produce a 9 p.m. newscast for the station, KOAP 15 News at Nine. 
In 2003, channel 15 took over production of the newscast. It also added some new syndicated programming, after having an infomercial-heavy schedule. A Saturday movie marathon, KOAP 15's At the Movies, debuted on September 6, 2003, airing from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Two movie review shows, Hot Ticket and Ebert & Roeper, aired in the 5 o'clock slot, followed by She Spies at 6. The movie marathon still airs today; PBS Kids on TCN will air on Sunday mornings when it debuts, as the block airs in its normal 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. slot.
A morning newscast, Minneapolis This Morning, premiered in 2006, about a month before TCN's national morning show, TCN News This Morning, was announced. It originally aired from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., then from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. after TNTM premiered, and now from 4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m.
The station's 5 p.m. newscast, KOAP 15 News First at Five, debuted in 2010; a weekend edition was added in 2013. 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts were introduced in 2016. 
Syndicated programming seen on KOAP includes The 700 Club and F2: Forensic Factor. It is one of the few local TV stations in the country to still carry The Andy Griffith Show, airing it once a week at 4:30 a.m. Sundays.
