KBTR-CA channel 41, known on-air as WBTR 41, is a television station in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The station is owned by Louisiana Television Broadcasting, the owners of WBRZ-TV.

While the station is licensed as KBTR-CA, it brands itself on the air as "WBTR 41" to help fit in with other stations in the market. To keep other stations from using the WBTR calls (other than in legal IDs), KBTR has registered "WBTR" as a Registered trademark.

In late Summer 2007, KBTR's prior owner, Veritas Broadcasting Company, sold the station to the Manship family, owners of WBRZ and The Advocate newspaper. Future plans for the station to be announced later. Previously, KBTR was operated by Louis E. "Woody" Jenkins until 2004, when it was purchased by Veritas.
