This marked Media General's return to Louisiana after selling Alexandria NBC affiliate KALB-TV to Hoak Media in 2008. After an aborted merger plan with Meredith Corporation, Media General announced on January 27, 2016, that it was being acquired by Nexstar Broadcasting Group with the new company named "Nexstar Media Group". As Nexstar had already owned KADN-TV and since the Lafayette market is too small to allow duopolies in any case, in order to comply with FCC ownership rules as well as planned changes to rules regarding same-market television stations which would prohibit future joint sales agreements, the company was required to sell either KLFY or KADN to another company. NBC affiliate KLAF-LD, KADN-TV's sister station, was the only station involved in the deal that could have been legally acquired, since FCC rules allow for common ownership of full-power and low-power television stations, regardless of the number of stations in a market. However, four months later, Nexstar agreed to sell KADN and KLAF-LD to Bayou City Broadcasting, allowing it to retain KLFY. Upon being acquired by Nexstar, the station upgraded its set and look. It has retained the "Hello Acadiana" greeting as well as the morning newscast title Passe Partout. However, in November 2017, the station dropped its hurricane eye logo it has used for over four decades, has renamed its noon newscast (formerly titled Meet Your Neighbor) to KLFY News 10 at Noon, and has changed its news theme to Stephen Arnold Music's "Canvas," which was and is still used by numerous former Media General stations. News operation KLFY-TV broadcasts to and gathers news from throughout the South Central Louisiana area, a region known as "Acadiana." This includes the parishes (counties) of Lafayette, Saint Martin, Saint Landry, Evangeline, Acadia, Vermilion, Iberia, Saint Mary, and Jefferson Davis. Many of the station's branding campaigns and slogans use the moniker "Acadiana," such as "Hello Acadiana," which was adopted in 1982 along with the Frank Gari news theme "Hello News," which KLFY used from 1982 until 2004. KLFY is well known in the market for its local morning show, Passe Partout–derived from the French word for "all-purpose." It has been on the air for over half a century (since 1957), and is one of the longest-running programs of its kind in the country. The station's noon show, KLFY 10 News at Noon, has been on the air for almost as long; it was formerly
