KUWF-LP, UHF analog channel 36, was a low-power Univision-affiliated television station licensed to Wichita Falls, Texas, United States. Founded on October 18, 2000, the station was owned by Drewry Communications.

KUWF was put up for sale by previous owner Equity Media Holdings in 2009 as part of a sell-off of all of the company's stations.[1] A buyer was not found until October, when Drewry Communications Group, owner of ABC affiliate KSWO-TV (channel 7), announced that it would purchase the station as part of a larger deal.[2]

KUWF, however, would cease operations by the fall of 2010; its license would be cancelled by the FCC on October 6, 2010.[3]
