KLFY-TV, channel 10, is a CBS affiliated television station in Lafayette, Louisiana. Broadcasting on DTV 10.1, its transmitter is located in Maxie, Louisiana. The station is owned by Young Broadcasting, now managed by Gray Television.
The station is also carried on Cable and Satellite providers for the Lake Charles metro area and Southwest Louisiana, since that region does not have a CBS affiliate of its own.

The station signed on June 3, 1955. Its original studio facilities were located on Jefferson Street in downtown Lafayette. It has always been a CBS affiliate, though it aired some ABC programming until KATC signed on in 1962. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.[1]
KLFY TV is broadcast to and gathers news over the South Central Louisiana area known as the region of "Acadiana." This includes the Parishes (Counties) of Lafayette, Saint Martin, Saint Landry, Evangeline, Acadia, Vermilion, Iberia, Saint Mary, and Jefferson Davis.
The station's broadcast signal is carried by all local cable and satellite providers. Cox Communications, DirecTV, Dish Network, LUS Fiber and a variety of other services prove KLFY's programming to their customers.
The station's newscasts, known as "Eyewitness News," dominated the ratings in Acadiana for several years, until KATC TV 3, Lafayette's ABC affiliate skyrocketed in the ratings, now often beating KLFY in Neilsen results. For over two decades until 2005, KLFY used the news theme Hello News by Gari Communications and an accompanying slogan Hello Acadiana.
On December 28, 2011, KLFY became the first television station in the Lafayette market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition.
