KAKW-TV is a television station in Killeen, Texas, serving the Waco market as a Univision owned-and-operated station on channel 62. The station is also seen in the Austin market via repeater station KAKW-CA, channel 31. Although it is based in the Waco market, most of its news and advertising is targeted for the Austin market. Both stations are owned by Univision.

KAKW was originally a dual UPN/The WB affiliate for the Waco/Killeen/Temple market, and was owned by Communications Corporation of America (Comcorp), along with simulcast Fox affiliates KWKT (Waco) and KYLE (Bryan/College Station). That was until 2002 when KAKW dropped both networks and expanded its market coverage to Austin and became a Univision affiliate under new ownership of the Spanish television network itself. It also started up a Spanish news operation. KWKT and KYLE would pick up The WB as secondary affiliation, and UPN viewers had to rely on Dallas-Fort Worth station KTXA for their programming until 2006 when CBS affiliates KWTX and KBTX launched digital subchannels to carry UPN programming.
