ST. LOUIS 鈥� Community radio station KDHX has agreed to sell its license and its broadcast tower to K-LOVE, a national network of evangelical radio stations.

The station said in an announcement Tuesday afternoon that the sale allows it to continue operations 鈥� but suggests a digital future rather than over-the-air radio.聽

"By selling these assets now, (KDHX) can save over $500,000 in needed broadcast infrastructure repairs and instead can redirect that money toward future projects," Tuesday's statement said.

"This sale is not the end of KDHX 鈥� it is a transformation that allows us to continue our mission in new and sustainable ways," the statement said.

The station said it did not know exactly how it would continue. But it said it is looking to expand its digital presence.

KDHX's announcement did not list a sale price but said the amount exceeds the station's market value.

Spokespeople for the station did not immediately respond to requests for further information.

K-LOVE owns 589 stations across the country. None reaches the 狐狸视频 region.

The sale would require the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Double Helix Corp., which owns and operates KDHX, filed for bankruptcy on March 10 and announced that K-LOVE had offered to make a debtor-in-possession loan on March 14.

KDHX has seen its viability collapse as an over-the-air radio presence since September 2023, when management fired 10 of its 80 volunteer on-air DJs in one day. At least 14 other volunteer DJs and an unknown number of behind-the-scenes volunteers resigned in solidarity over the following few weeks.

All of the 24 DJs who were removed or left the station had signed a letter of no confidence in the station's executive director, Kelly Wells, earlier that summer.

Donations from listeners, which the station depended on to survive, immediately began to dwindle. Donations from businesses in exchange for on-air acknowledgement, which is called underwriting, similarly dried up.

As money grew ever tighter, the station stopped broadcasting live programming in February, relying instead on prerecorded shows from the past.

According to the bankruptcy filing, the station owes around $700,000 to its 20 largest unsecured creditors, including $120,000 for a construction loan to a resident of Lake Ozark, $79,000 to a local public relations firm and varying amounts to several current and former paid members of the staff.

In documents filed to support the bankruptcy request, the station said its financial situation stemmed from "longstanding financial pressures (including pending litigation) and industry-wide challenges unique to publicly supported media."
