KQEG-CD

KQEG-CD (channel 23) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to La Crescent, Minnesota, United States.

It is a translator of La Crosse, Wisconsin–licensed CBS affiliate WKBT-DT (channel 8) which is owned by Morgan Murphy Media.

KQEG-CD's transmitter is located near Hokah, Minnesota; its parent station maintains studios on South 6th Street in downtown La Crosse.

WBDL-LP was silent due to the station's former frequency (UHF 45) placement in the 600 MHz band that was cleared during the 2016 FCC spectrum auction.

[9] In June 2002, White Eagle Partnership purchased the construction permit for W45CF (channel 45) of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, from Inspiration Television.

In May 2009, KQEG's programming was revamped as the station began a part-time affiliation with Ion Television; this included the discontinuation of the 7 p.m. airing of WXOW's 6 p.m. newscast.

[21] Its now-duplicative channel position was dropped by Charter Spectrum across the La Crosse–Eau Claire and Rochester service territories soon after.
