TBN took K44FK silent April 13, 2010, due to declining support, which has been attributed to the digital transition.[1]
Minority Media and Telecommunications Council Inc. acquired the translator as a donation from Trinity Broadcasting Network in 2010.
On June 16, 2011, the station was purchased by Luken Communications' sister company Digital Networks, LLC.[2]
