WKYT-DT2 is a CW-affiliated television station licensed to Lexington, Kentucky, United States. It is the second digital subchannel of CBS affiliate WKYT-TV owned by Gray Television. Over the air, it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 36.2 (or virtual channel 27.2 via ) from a transmitter east of the intersection of I-75 and U.S. 60 in Lexington. WKYT-DT2's parent station maintains studios on Winchester Road (near U.S. 60), within a mile from the studios of competing ABC affiliate WTVQ-DT and MyNetworkTV affiliate WTVQ-DT2.
The station is also received on cable throughout much of eastern, southern and northern Kentucky.
WKYT-DT2 signed on as a UPN affiliate in September 2004, replacing WBLU-LP (which was a secondary WB affiliate from 1999 to 2003), which became an independent station afterwards. It was originally branded as UPN Lexington, or "UKYT." The subchannel served as Lexington's UPN affiliate until the network merged with The WB in September 2006 to create The CW Television Network.
