WQOW

WQOW (channel 18) is a television station licensed to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, United States, serving as the ABC affiliate for the Chippewa Valley. Owned by Allen Media Group, the station maintains studios on Friedeck Road in Eau Claire, while its transmitter is located at the WEAU facilities in nearby Altoona, Wisconsin.

Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, WQOW is considered a semi-satellite of WXOW. It carries most of WXOW's syndicated programming but airs its own commercials, identifications, local newscasts, severe weather cut-ins, and Sunday religious programs. The station also maintains an independent web and social media presence. WQOW serves the northern portion of the La Crosse and Eau Claire media market, while WXOW covers the southern area. Although WQOW maintains its own facilities, some functions such as master control and other technical operations are handled by WXOW's studio near La Crescent, Minnesota. The two stations are reported as one for ratings purposes. As of October 2025, DirecTV, Dish Network, and most vMVPD providers carry both WXOW and WQOW.
