The channel broadcasts original programming on channel 14.3; the EWTN network on channels 14.2, 14.4, and 14.5; and text-based Catholic and local news, events, and information (including subchannel schedules) on 14.1.

Due to the digital repack, the station signed off temporarily in May 2018, when KPXM moved transmitters from Big Lake to a tower shared with radio station KQQL, near the town of Nowthen, Minnesota, along with moving to channel 16 (full-power stations are allowed to change channel positions and force low-power stations to find a new acceptable allocation). KPXM remapped to 41.1, mirroring the setup at Big Lake. [1] [2]

St. Michael Broadcasting resumed broadcasting on digital UHF channel 14, with the new call letters K14RB-D, on July 9, 2018. [3]
