In 2007, the station was investigated for breaching its community radio license. Complaints included rejecting a number of member applications, discrimination and bad management practices.^[3]

In 2010 QBN FM was involved with the promotion of children having a good breakfast at the Karabah High school.^[4] This helped to create an awareness of the lack of nutrition children were getting before starting school for the day. This program was a government initiative called "the school breakfast program".^[5]
