History

The station began broadcasting February 22, 1961, and held the call sign KBGN-FM, simulcasting AM 910 KBGN. [2] In 1970, the station's call sign was changed to KBXL. [3] KBXL aired an easy listening format in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s. [7] [8] [9] [10] In October 1991, the station adopted a soft AC format, and was branded "X-94". [10] By 1994, the station had adopted a religious format. [11]

In May 2025, Inspirational Family Radio filed to sell KBXL to the University of Northwestern – St. Paul, owner of the Northwestern Media network of Christian radio stations, for $1.5 million. [12]
