KLFY-TV (channel 10) is a television station in Lafayette, Louisiana, United States, affiliated with CBS.
The station currently operates out of newer, larger purpose-built studio facilities on Eraste Landry Road, on the city's south side.
As Nexstar had already owned KADN-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 KADN to another company.
[6][7] However, four months later, Nexstar agreed to sell KADN and KLAF-LD to Bayou City Broadcasting, allowing it to retain KLFY.
However, in November 2017, the station dropped its hurricane eye logo it has used for over four decades, has renamed its noon newscast (formerly titled Meet Your Neighbor) to KLFY News 10 at Noon, and has changed its news theme to Stephen Arnold Music's "Canvas", which was and is still used by numerous former Media General stations.
On September 23, 2024, KLFY became the Lafayette market's third affiliate of The CW once its contract with KATC expired, as part of a plan for Nexstar to carry the network on more of its owned and operated stations.
The two programs are typically accompanied by paid live remotes promoting local car dealers, furniture stores and other commercial businesses.
[11] On December 28, 2011, KLFY became the first television station in the Lafayette market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition.
Upon being acquired by Nexstar, KLFY began producing and airing a weekend sports program Cajun Nation, focusing on sporting events from UL Lafayette, and airs Geaux Nation, focusing on athletic events from LSU, that is produced by sister station WVLA in Baton Rouge.
According to an article on TV Newscheck's website, Media General signed an agreement to launch GetTV on 20 of its stations, including KLFY, beginning February 1, 2016.
