W18BT is a low-power television station licensed to Alpena, Michigan. It was previously a repeater that broadcasts programming from the Trinity Broadcasting Network, via satellite; in recent years, due to TBN's financial problems, many of its repeaters were sold to other parties, including W18BT, which was sold to Luken Communications, the parent company of Retro Television Network, under the licensee name "Digital Networks - Midwest".^[1]

The station broadcasts on UHF channel 18, with no current digital channel.
