KQSL (channel 8) is a religious television station licensed to Cloverdale, California, United States, serving the San Francisco Bay Area which is a broadcast partner of the Total Living Network. The station is owned by One Ministries, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Santa Rosa, California. KQSL's studios are located on Performance Drive in Santa Rosa. The station broadcasts from a two-site distributed transmission system, with transmitters on Cahto Peak west of Laytonville and on Geyser Peak northeast of Geyserville.
KQSL debuted in March 1990 as KFWU, originally licensed to Fort Bragg, California, and owned by California Oregon Broadcasting as a satellite of ABC affiliate KAEF-TV in Eureka. Previously, cable operators in Fort Bragg would carry either network-owned KGO-TV (channel 7) or KNTV (channel 11, now an NBC owned-and-operated station). Despite KGO and KNTV's signals not being able to reach Fort Bragg at that time, KFWU was the third ABC station in the San Francisco Bay Area. However, the station was sold to Lamco Communications (along with KAEF) in 1995. It was then sold to Sainte Limited in 1996, and to Pappas Telecasting Companies in 1997, at which point KFWU became a satellite of KTNC-TV in Concord (however, at first, KFWU was considered the main station and KTNC the satellite). It became KUNO-TV in 2003.
On November 7, 2008, KUNO was taken silent due to financial troubles. In May 2008, Pappas filed for bankruptcy protection. On November 5, 2008, KUNO returned to on-air operation just under one year of having been silent with its analog facilities on channel 8 and pre-transition DTV facility on channel 15.
On January 16, 2009, it was announced that several Pappas stations, including KTNC and KUNO, would be sold to New World TV Group after the sale received United States bankruptcy court approval.
On June 12, 2009, KUNO signed off of its analog signal and completed its move to digital. Both KUNO and KDSL-CA (licensed to Ukiah, California) were transferred to Titan TV Broadcast Group on October 15, 2009. KUNO was taken silent again on October 31, 2009, and was subsequently sold to Jeff Chang in July 2010 for $100,000. The sale to Jeff Chang was completed on October 6, 2010, and he got the station back on the air just under one year of it being silent. If not for Jeff Chang relaunching KQSL's on-air operation, its license would have been revoked.
Upon taking over, Chang dropped the KTNC simulcast in favor of Retro Television Network programming, under new call letters. In October 2010, he call signed the station as KBQR; in June 2011, the station was given new a new call sign again, this time to KQSL. The KQSL call sign had previously belonged to an LPFM construction permit in Penngrove, California, belonging to One Ministries, Inc., and coincidentally One Ministries, Inc. would become the future owner of KQSL in 2018.
KQSL joined TheCoolTV in September 2011; the network regarded the station as its San Francisco affiliate. In 2012, KQSL dropped TheCoolTV and picked up FilmOn programming. The station dropped FilmOn in early 2013, but carried a schedule of classic television shows and entertainment news magazines and specials until 2016. After this, it began broadcasting Jimmy Swaggart's Sonlife Broadcasting Network.
