History
Twin Cities signal
In 2008, praisefm began broadcasting its station on 95.3 MHz KNOF in the Twin Cities forming a partnership with North Central University. The studio is located on the campus of North Central University in downtown Minneapolis in the former Comm Arts building.[1]
Selby Gospel Broadcasting Corporation eventually sold KNOF to Praise Broadcasting by June 2014.[2]
In 2015, praisefm was approached by Northern Lights Broadcasting with a proposal to purchase KNOF. This purchase would allow praisefm to transfer their signal from 95.3FM to KTWN's 96.3 HD2, and increase their signal coverage to a greater portion of the Twin Cities area.[3] On January 4, 2016, PraiseFM transferred their signal from KNOF 95.3 to KTWN 96.3 HD2. The sale to the Pohlad family (who also own the Minnesota Twins) netted praisefm nearly $8 million.[4]
In 2019, KBHL rebranded as "PraiseLive" with no change in format. After the Pohlads sold their stations to the Educational Media Foundation in 2021, "PraiseLive" moved from KQGO 96.3 HD2 back to KNOF.[5]
In 2025, "PraiseLive" returned to the name praisefm.
