==History==
KAFB was launched on March 3, 1983 originally operating as an independent station, owned by Don Lyons and his wife, the former Rebecca Payton (1937-2012), a native of Saline in Bienville Parish.
Two years later, it became the area's ABC affiliate with Monday Night Football serving as the first program that the station aired as a network affiliate. Cypress Communications sold the station to Pollack/Belz Broadcasting on June 3, 1988. Pollack/Betz Broadcasting sold the station to Woodwind Communications in 2000.
In Early 2017, BeloOne announced they will buy the station, making it sister station to WWLL in New Orealns, KELD in El Dorado, AR, and KSOL in Lake Charles. When they purcahsed the station, they redid the news set, updated the logo (ditching the ABC6 branding used since 2003, replacing it with 6 On Your Side), graphics and a new news theme.
On April 17, 2017, BeloOne sold KAFB to Sinclair Broadcast Group.
