TBN took the former K61HD silent March 30, 2010 due to declining support, which has been attributed to the digital transition.[1] On May 4, 2012, the callsign for this station changed from the previous translator-style calls K61HD to the current KQCT-LP, following its sale to its current owners, Luken Communications, which owns the station through its Digital Networks subsidiary.[2]

When KQCT turns on its digital signal, and returns to the air, it will be affiliated with Retro Television Network. It was seen before on WHBF-TV, on its digital subchannel of 4.2, before being replaced by Live Well Network.
