KWBF ("Arkansas' WB42") is the WB television affiliate based in Little Rock, Arkansas. The station is owned by Tribune Company, whose operations for all its stations are based in Little Rock.

The station, which broadcasts on channel 42, signed on the air on December 1, 1997 as KYPX with a Pax affiliation. In 2001 it swapped frequencies with KKYK and became the WB affiliate.

Recently, the station made headlines when it decided to air The Book of Daniel after the NBC affiliate KARK declined to do so. Because of the controversial nature of the series, the station came under fire for this, and had to hire extra security after threats were made against the station.

In February 2006, News Corporation announced the formation of a new network, My Network TV, one month after UPN and The WB announced they would merge into The CW. On March 30, Tribune announced that KWBF would be an affiliate of My Network TV, which will broadcast in early September. The CW will be seen on KASN.

In addition to having a low-power translator on UHF channel 47, KWBF also broadcasts in high-definition on channel 44 under a Special Temporary Authority.
