KLAF-LD

KLAF-LD (channel 14) is a low-power television station in Lafayette, Louisiana, United States, affiliated with NBC.

The two stations share studios on Eraste Landry Road in Lafayette; KLAF-LD's transmitter is located near Scott, Louisiana.

Therefore, in order to expand its broadcasting radius, KLAF-LD is simulcast in high definition on KADN-TV's second digital subchannel (hence the NBC 15.2 branding) from a transmitter south of Church Point.

KLAF's origins begin on October 17, 1991, when Delta Media (who then owned KADN) signed on low-power K62DW in Lafayette as "K62TV".

During a transitional period that ran from August 15 to September 4, the on-air branding reverted to "KLAF", with no network or channel number designation.

Since Media General owned CBS affiliate KLFY-TV, and since the Lafayette market is too small to allow duopolies in any case, in order to comply with FCC ownership rules as well as planned changes to rules regarding same-market television stations which would prohibit future joint sales agreements, the company was required to sell either KLFY or sister station KADN to another company.

[9] Sources from both KADN and Bayou City Broadcasting have confirmed that KLAF-LD will stay on the air, but could go dark in the future and/or if the FCC opens up new filing windows to voluntarily move LPTV stations.

[6] On March 31, 2016, Nexstar announced that KLAF (alongside sister station KADN) would launch its own news department on April 1 at 5 p.m.

[14] KLAF previously broadcast its analog signal on UHF channel 62, but because of its low power output and distance from the city of Lafayette, it was relayed across a small network of three translator stations: In August 2007, KLAF began to make the transition to a single, full-market station as programming was added to KADN-TV on channel 15.2.
