[edit] Today

Known for being the dominant station in the market, KLFY-TV 10 airs it's local shows Passe Partout (title is French for "passkey" or "all-purpose"), Meet Your Neighbor, and Eyewitness News. The Louisiana Association of Broadcasters has recently named KLFY "Station of the Year," an award the news station is no stranger to. KLFY works to bring viewers a well-rounded and balanced presentation of daily events, while also keeping a strong hand in community affairs. Each year, the station's main community projects such as "Running of the Ducks" with the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters and "Food For Families," spearheaded by Maria Placer, bring the community together with the Spirit of Acadiana. The popular MDA telethon has become less of a live event and more of a community affairs program. KFLY also airs syndicated programming such as Live with Regis and Kelly, Dr. Phil, Judge Judy, Millionaire, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider. The station is owned by Young Broadcasting.
