Selby Gospel Broadcasting Corporation eventually sold KNOF to Praise Broadcasting by June 2014.

This purchase would allow PraiseFM transfer their signal from 95.3FM to KTWN's 96.3 HD2, increase their signal to a greater portion of the Twin Cities area. On January 4, 2016, PraiseFM transferred their signal from KNOF 95.3 to KTWN 96.3 HD2. The sale to the Pohlad family (who also own the Minnesota Twins, netted PraiseFM nearly $8 million.
