KMDL

KMDL is a FOX affiliate serving Lafayette, Louisiana, and it's surrounding areas. Broadcasting on channel 35, KMDL is owned and operated by Young Broadcasting. From the time the station signed on in 1980 until 1986, KMDL was an independent. In 1986, KMDL became a FOX affiliate, but after two disappointing years, KMDL left FOX. KFXA (now KRAD) became the new FOX affiliate, and KMDL became an independent once again. In 1995, KMDL became an affiliate of UPN. In 2000, KFXA became an independent (and changed their call letters to KIAL), and KMDL left UPN to became a FOX affiliate once again, where they remain to this day. KMDL also operates three subchannels: 35.2 (for Seven Network), 35.3 (for Movies!), and 35.4 (for Buzzr).
