 Similar to Delta Media's Lafayette H&I affiliate KDCG-CD, KBCA preempts some H&I programming, particularly in the mornings, to broadcast infomercials.Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 , the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station.Instead, on or before June 12, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KBCA was required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
