"The University of Northwestern-St. Paul is poised to bring its "Faith Radio" network to the Bismarck area after buying a station from the Educational Media Foundation. Northwestern will pay $50,000 for KLBF/89.1 (Lincoln-Bismarck), which is EMF's third signal in the area. A main studio waiver request filed with the FCC requests that KLBF become a satellite of KTIS/900 (Minneapolis), which is the flagship of the "Faith Radio" Christian talk and preaching network. Bismarck would be the only community where Northwestern offers "Faith Radio" but not a local Contemporary Christian format. Christian music formats are already available locally from longtime local Christian outlet KNDR-FM/104.7 and EMF's "K-Love" and "Air-1" networks. (4/26/2017)"

"KLBF/89.1 (Lincoln-Bismarck) has returned to the air and is now carrying Christian Talk and Teaching from the Faith Radio Network. The change follows University of Northwestern-St. Paul, which owns the Faith Radio Network, buying KLBF from the Educational Media Foundation. Bismarck is the westernmost city where the network is heard and is one of the few markets where Northwestern operates a Faith Radio station but not a local Contemporary Christian format. (10/2/2017)"
