The station was profitable at this time; however in 1980, the Trinity Broadcasting Network made a substantial offer to LeSEA to purchase WHFT; LeSEA agreed to the deal and sold the station to TBN. The sale included only the broadcast license, transmitter, real estate, and building facilities. The sale excluded programming assets, employment contracts, and sales commitments. On July 21, 1980, the intellectual local unit of WHFT was shut down. The station's secular program inventory was returned to distributors; some eventually moved to new stations WDZL (channel 39, now WSFL-TV) and WBFS-TV (channel 33), while others never found any takers among Miami's television stations. Since 1980, the station has been a straight simulcast of the national TBN feed with the exception of some local public affairs shows. Some of the religious programs that had aired on WHFT-TV under LeSEA ownership remained on the station as TBN had also carried these programs; other programs such as the "PTL Club" and "The 700 Club" were removed (however, TBN would acquire the rights to air "The 700 Club" a few years later).
