KZUP-TV (Z19) is the local independent station for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It transmits its analog signal on UHF channel 19. It is owned by White Knight Broadcasting, and is sister station to the area's (NBC) affiliate WVLA.

The station signed on the air in 1999 as an UPN affiliate, but went to an independent station after its contract ended in 2003. It lost the rights to Raycom Media's WBXH, also known as "My BR TV".

For some years, the station once carried telecasts of the Texas Rangers baseball team. It also aired Family Feud during the 2002-2003 TV season, the first season hosted by Richard Karn--prior to that period and after that period, the show aired on WAFB.

The station airs a telecast by Jimmy Swaggert. During the day, it airs reruns of Good Times, Becker, Sanford and Son, The Nanny, Mad About You, Home Improvement, Cops, Fear Factor, Just Shoot Me, and The Cosby Show. During prime-time, it airs repeats of various court and talk shows broadcast during the day by WGMB, including Jerry Springer, The People's Court, Divorce Court, Judge Alex, and Judge Mathis.
