LPTV station in Baraboo, Wisconsin
This article needs to be updated. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information.(June 2021)
The station began broadcasting on September 28, 1998. It called itself "WRPQ-TV" in connection with its sister radio station. The station aired local programming and filled its broadcast day with content from the American Independent Network and America One.[2] In 2000, the station affiliated with Pax.[3]
W43BR's signal was originally beamed to the north and west so as not to interfere with Mayville-licensed TBN station WWRS-TV (channel 52), which broadcast on digital channel 43. W43BR still broadcasts with a highly directional signal to protect Rockford, Illinois–based WTVO.
W43BR has limited Spectrum cable coverage in the Baraboo/Wisconsin Dells area, along with surrounding portions of Columbia, Sauk, Adams and Juneau counties, and western portions of Dane County on channel 10. W43BR is also carried on TDS Telecom in parts of the Madison market. It is not available on cable in the city of Madison.
