History
KLWB originated in 1999 as a cable-only affiliate of The WB, via The WB 100+. Its broadcast signal began broadcasting on April 3, 2006. Soon afterward, it began to be carried by DirecTV (which previously imported WBZL in Miami and WNUV in Baltimore for WB programming) and Dish Network. The station joined The CW upon its formation that September, carrying The WB 100+'s successor, The CW Plus.
KLWB lost its CW affiliation to a subchannel of KATC on June 14, 2010. At that time, the station switched to This TV (which had previously been carried on a subchannel of KLWB, as well as on sister station KXKW-LD). The station also moved to channel 23 on Cox Cable (its previous position, channel 10, is now occupied by the KATC subchannel). On July 25, 2011, KLWB began airing Me-TV on a new subchannel.[1]
Beginning in fall 2011, KLWB became part of the Southland Conference Television Network, airing live sporting events from that league.
On March 30, 2012, Delta Media (Wilderness Communications) purchased KDCG (then RTV) from Acadiana Cable Advertising and added the station on channel 50.2. On August 1, 2012, KDCG switched affiliations from RTV to Antenna TV and in the process Antenna TV was moved to 50.2, RTV was moved to 50.3 but was dropped from the lineup months later. On July 1, 2015, Heroes & Icons launched on 22.2 subchannel, (This on 22.1), and KLWB 50.2 stemming from an agreement between Delta Media Corporation and Weigel Broadcasting of Chicago. Antenna TV now can be seen with the Tribune sister station This TV on KXKW-LD 32.2. Possible future launches on 32 and 50 are: Grit and Escape in January 2016, Decades and Movies! in March 2016, and Laff some time in June or July 2016

Analog-to-digital conversion
KLWB shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 50, on June 12, 2009, and "flash-cut" its digital signal into operation on channel 50.[5][6] Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997, the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station.
