WMNS-LD (channel 22) was a low-power independent television station serving the United States Virgin Islands that is licensed to Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas. Owned by V.I. Christian Ministries, Inc., the station was operated under a local marketing agreement (LMA) by Innovative Communications Corporation as sister to cable-only channel TV2. WMNS-LD's transmitter was located atop Hawk Hill.

History

The station was founded on October 17, 2001, as K22GA. It gained the WMNS-LP callsign on December 22, 2003.

Prior to July 13, 2009, WMNS-LP broadcast Daystar programming. However, after CBS programming moved from WVXF to the cable-only channel TV2, WMNS-LD provided over-the-air coverage for TV2.

V.I. Christian Ministries ceased operations of WMNS-LD on September 20, 2023; its license was surrendered on December 12.^[2]
