  • All three of these stations (with KFNB as flagship) were affiliated with ABC from 1984 to 2004, when they became satellites of KLWY.

KLWY also operates a translator, K58AM, near Rawlins.

KLWY and all associated stations are owned by Wyomedia Corporation.

The station also carried a secondary affiliation with UPN until the network closed in September 2006.

The station formerly had two other repeaters, K26ES in Casper, and K11RN in Douglas. Wyomedia converted these two stations into full-time UPN affiliates in 2004, and to CW affiliates after UPN's closure.
