W18BT is a low-power television station licensed to Alpena, Michigan. It used to be a repeater that broadcasts programming from the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), via satellite. Because of 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]
