"KWFB" is the The CW affiliate for the Bakersfield, California DMA, a sister station to NBC affiliate KGET-TV. The station is part of The CW Plus, a series of cable outlets for markets below the top hundred in the country. The call sign is fictional, as it is not an FCC-licensed broadcast station; it is available only on Bakersfield cable systems on channel 12. KWFB used to be part of the The WB 100+ Station Group before the network ceased operations in September 2006 along with UPN to for the new network The CW.

KWFB's future after The WB and UPN cease operations at the end of August to form The CW was unknown, as it did not currently have an affiliation agreement with the network. However, the CW affiliation eventually ended up on KWFB and a new digital subchannel of KGET. Former UPN affiliate KUVI-TV affiliated with My Network TV instead of the CW.

On November 16, 2006, Clear Channel announced its intention to sell off all of its television stations, including KWFB's parent station KGET, after the company was bought out by a private equity firm. KWFB's operation will eventually be taken over by the new owner of KGET.
