PraiseLive is partnered with Spirit FM, a network of five stations in Africa: three inGhana, and two inUganda. The Uganda stations also reach into the war-torn nation ofSudan to the north. There is another station in the process of being built in Sudan. PraiseLive contributes programming specially produced for broadcast on Spirit FM.
In 2008, PraiseFM began broadcasting its station on 95.3MHz KNOF in theTwin Cities forming a partnership with North Central University. The studio is located on the campus ofNorth Central University in downtownMinneapolis in the former Comm Arts building.[1]
Selby Gospel Broadcasting Corporation eventually sold KNOF to Praise Broadcasting by June 2014.[2]
In 2015, Praise FM was approached by Northern Lights Broadcasting with a proposal to purchase KNOF. This purchase would allow PraiseFM to transfer their signal from 95.3FM toKTWN's 96.3 HD2, and increase their signal coverage to a greater portion of theTwin 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 theMinnesota 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 theEducational Media Foundation in 2021, "PraiseLive" moved from KQGO 96.3 HD2 back to KNOF.[5]
