    KJEF-CA (channel 13) was a low-power, Class A independent television stationinJennings, Louisiana, United States. It was the only television station owned by Townsquare Media, a company that otherwise specializes exclusively in radio.

    History[edit]

    The station's original construction permit was originally granted on August 24, 1987,[1] as K13VD; this was changed to K13VG a month later.[2] The station was originally owned by Jennings Broadcasting Company along with KJEF radio (1290 AM, now KJEF; and 92.9 FM, now KHLA), but was sold to Cajun Country Broadcasting in 1994.[3] K13VG was again sold, this time to Apex Broadcasting, in 2000;[4] soon afterward, it obtained class A status[5] and, in 2001, changed its call letters to KJEF-CA to match its radio sisters.[2]

    From March 15 until August 24, 2004, KJEF-CA suspended its normal programming and became, in effect, a temporary translatorofKPLC, the NBC affiliate in Lake Charles; that station's tower had collapsed on March 4, and KJEF helped augment the lower-power auxiliary transmitter KPLC was broadcasting from upon resuming broadcasts on March 6.[6][7]

    Gap Broadcasting purchased Apex Broadcasting's Lafayette stations in 2007.[8] What eventually became Gap Central Broadcasting (following the formation of GapWest Broadcasting) was folded into Townsquare Media on August 13, 2010.[9]

    The station went dark at 5 p.m. on April 19, 2013. Three days later on April 22, Townsquare surrendered the station's license to the Federal Communications Commission, who subsequently canceled it.
