TBN took the former K61HD silent March 30, 2010 due to declining support, which has been attributed to the digital transition.[2] 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.[3]

KQCT-LP was scheduled to turn on its digital signal, and 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. However, the station's license was cancelled on December 22, 2021, without ever being licensed for digital operation.
