KLFY-TV, channel 10, is the CBS-affiliated television station in Lafayette, Louisiana broadcasting on TV channel 10 (virtual channel 10.1). Its transmitter is located north of Rayne, Louisiana. Its original 1800 foot tower was located just north of Crowley, Louisiana near the small town of Maxie. The original tower was shortened to 1100 feet in the late 2000s due to mechanical issues. The station is owned by Media General and is the oldest television station in the Lafayette area. The station is also carried on Cable and Satellite providers for the Lake Charles metro area and Southwest Louisiana, since that region does not have a CBS affiliate of its own. ==History== The station signed on June 3, 1955. Owned by Camellia Broadcasting at the time, it was intended to share time on channel 10 with KVOL-TV, owned at the time by the Morgan Murphy Stations along with KVOL, KVOL-FM (96.1, off-air and moved to Lake Charles by 1976), and the Daily Advertiser. Its original studio facilities were located on Jefferson Street in downtown Lafayette. It has always been a CBS affiliate, though it aired some ABC programming until KATC signed on in 1962. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.〔 〕 The station currently operates out of newer, larger purpose-built studio facilities on Eraste Landry Road, on the city's south side. In January 2012, KLFY became the first news affiliate in the region to broadcast its newscasts in full 1080i HD. KLFY-TV broadcasts to and gathers news the South Central Louisiana area, a region known as "Acadiana." This includes the Parishes (Counties) of Lafayette, Saint Martin, Saint Landry, Evangeline, Acadia, Vermilion, Iberia, Saint Mary, and Jefferson Davis. Many of the station's branding campaigns and slogans use the moniker "Acadiana." Young Broadcasting acquired the station from Texoma Broadcasters in 1988. Young, and KLFY with it, was sold to Media General in 2013. This marked Media General's return to Louisiana after selling Alexandria NBC affiliate KALB to Hoak Media in 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KLFY-TV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
