KAKW-DT is a television station licensed to Killeen, Texas, serving the Waco and Austin markets as a Univision owned-and-operated station on channel 62 from a tower approximately halfway between Austin and Killeen. Although it is based in the Waco market, most of its news and advertising is targeted for the Austin market.

KAKW was originally a dual UPN/The WB affiliate for the Waco/Killeen/Temple market, and was owned by Communications Corporation of America, along with simulcast Fox affiliates KWKT (Waco) and KYLE (Bryan/College Station). That was until 2002 when KAKW dropped both networks and expanded its market coverage to Austin and became a Univision affiliate under new ownership of the Spanish television network itself. It also started up a local Spanish news operation.

Until 2009, KAKW also operated a repeater in Austin, KAKW-CA channel 31. In 2009, this station switched to Telefutura programming, as KTFO-CD. KAKW broadcasts its HD signal on channel 31.2 making Univision available over-the-air in the Austin DMA.
