KAWE is a television station in Bemidji, Minnesota, broadcasting locally on channel 9 as a PBS member station. KAWE first took to the air on June 1, 1980. The station also has a satellite station in Brainerd, Minnesota, KAWB, operating on digital channel 28 but remapping to channel 22, the station's former analog channel. The stations brand together as Lakeland Public Television.

KAWE is the only full-power station based in north central Minnesota, an area that is served mainly by translators of the Minneapolis/St. Paul stations. It also airs the only local newscast in north central Minnesota.

KAWE is carried on channel 22 on DirecTV and Dish Network's Twin Cities feeds because KMSP-TV of Minneapolis also broadcasts on channel 9.

KAWE and KAWB's television signals are multiplexed into six subchannels.

The broadcast areas of KAWE and KAWB are extended by way of four digital translators in northern Minnesota and one in central Minnesota.
