KBXL (94.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching format. Licensed to Caldwell, Idaho, United States, the station serves the Boise metropolitan area, and is currently owned by Inspirational Family Radio.

History

The station began broadcasting February 22, 1961, and held the call sign KBGN-FM, simulcasting AM 910 KBGN. In 1970, the station's call sign was changed to KBXL. KBXL aired an easy listening format in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s. In October 1991, the station adopted a soft AC format, and was branded "X-94". By 1994, the station had adopted a religious format.

In May 2025, Inspirational Family Radio filed to sell KBXL to the University of Northwestern – St. Paul, owner of the Northwestern Media network of Christian radio stations, for $1.5 million. The switch to Faith Radio took place on August 29, 2025.
