KLBF (89.1 FM, "Faith Radio") is a radio station licensed to serve Lincoln, North Dakota, serving the Bismarck-Mandan area. The station is owned by the University of Northwestern - St Paul. It airs a Christian talk/music format.
The station was assigned the KVLQ call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on March 28, 2003, and aired the K-Love network until 2008.[1] From 2008 to November 2010 the station was branded as "God's Country Radio" airing a Christian country and Southern Gospel.[2] After the Educational Media Foundation (EMF) stopped distributing God's Country, KGCD changed its call sign to KLBF and returned to carrying K-Love, even though KBMK (88.3 FM) also carried K-Love programming in Bismarck.[3]
The University of Northwestern - St Paul agreed to acquire KLBF from EMF for $50,000 in April 2017, with the intent of using the station to carry its Faith Radio network.[4] Following a silent period, KLBF began carrying Faith Radio by October 2017.[5]
