KLWB is the MeTV affiliate in the Lafayette, Louisiana, area of the United States. The station is owned by Wilderness Communications.
KLWB originated in 1999 as a cable-only affiliate of The WB, via The WB 100+. Its broadcast signal began broadcasting on April 3, 2006. Soon afterward, it began to be carried by DirecTV (which previously imported WBZL in Miami and WNUV in Baltimore for WB programming) and Dish Network. The station joined The CW upon its formation that September, carrying The WB 100+'s successor, The CW Plus.
KLWB lost its CW affiliation to a subchannel of KATC on June 14, 2010. At that time, the station switched to This TV (which had previously been carried on a subchannel of KLWB, as well as on sister station KXKW-LD). The station also moved to channel 23 on Cox Cable (its previous position, channel 10, is now occupied by the KATC subchannel). On July 25, 2011, KLWB began airing MeTV on a new subchannel.
Beginning in fall 2011, KLWB became part of the Southland Conference Television Network, airing live sporting events from that league.
