KXKW-LP is a low-powered television station serving the Lafayette, Louisiana area. The station is locally owned. The station's primary content is the audio programming on the aural carrier of 87.74 MHz and using a 19 KHz stereo pilot carrier with 75 KHz deviation. This can be received on many FM broadcast receivers, and as a result KXKW-LP markets itself as an FM radio broadcast station. The station is airing a traditional country music format under the brand "Mustang 87-7/107-1." To meet the legal requirements for visual content, the station runs a feed of the local National Weather Service radar.
KXKW-LP signed on in 1991 as K21DN from Sunset. At the time, it was one of many low-powered affiliates of the now-defunct Video Jukebox Network, which later became known simply as "The Box." K21DN changed its calls to KLFT-LP in 1995, and moved from Sunset to Lafayette shortly thereafter.
In 1999, KLFT-LP dropped its music video format when programming time was leased to KDCG-LP which used the station to simulcast its Pax programming. After not having a strong enough signal to warrant must-carry status on the Lafayette cable system, KDCG ended the LMA in 2004. Without any programming to air, the station aired nothing but a webcam image of its transmitting equipment with a posterboard reading "KLFT-LP LAFAYETTE" attached, intended to keep the station from losing its license for not properly identifying itself or being off the air for a long period of time. In October 2004, KLFT began airing programming from the Urban America Television network. After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the station ran community service information 24 hours a day. UATV suspended operations in May 2006, upon which The Sportsman Channel replaced its feed.
