W23BW-D is a translator station on channel 23 in Madison, Wisconsin owned by 3ABN and carrying that network's programming with no programming originating locally. Formerly on channel 54 until 2001, it was moved to channel 23 in 2001 to accommodate the digital signal Rockford, Illinois of WREX until it moved to its permanent digital 13 in 2009.
W23BW-D's signal is nulled to the north, a remnant of the analog age when Rockford's WIFR broadcast on analog channel 23 (currently WIFR is on digital channel 41, but identifies as channel 23 via PSIP).
