KBCA is a television station in Alexandria, Louisiana, broadcasting locally on channel 41 as an affiliate of the The CW network. It is owned by Lafayette-based Wilderness Communications, but is operated by White Knight Broadcasting's WNTZ.

[edit] Digital television

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [2], the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 17, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KBCA will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
