KWBJ-CD, digital channel 22 (former analog 39) in Morgan City, Louisiana, is a Digital Class-A television station affiliated with the America One network. KWBJ signed on in 1987 as K39BJ, a local independent station serving Morgan City, Houma, and the south Baton Rouge market. In 1995, K39BJ became a charter WB affiliate, changed calls to KWBJ-LP, and eventually added the America One affiliation in 1999. When the WB network merged with UPN in 2006, KWBJ did not seek a CW or MyNetworkTV affiliation, and instead became solely an America One affiliate. When the station switched to digital television, it opted to use its digital channel (22) for identification as opposed to its former analog channel (39).

KWBJ also serves Morgan City with a nightly newscast ("Newsday 22") during the week, covering local news, weather, and sports. Local weather with KWBJ Chief Meteorologist Chris MacDonald is also featured in other shorter segments during the evening on the station in addition to a full forecast during the news.

KWBJ is a member of the Southland Conference TV Network, having joined in Sept. 2011. The station airs the conference's game of the week during the football and basketball seasons, plus the soccer and volleyball championships.
