W23DN is a low-power television station (LPTV) licensed to the city of Atlanta, Georgia, broadcasting on channel 23 as an affiliate of Home Shopping Network.
Founded in 1987, the station is owned by Ventana Television, the subsidiary of HSN which is the holding company for its broadcast licenses. In March 2007, the station changed channels and therefore callsigns from W24AL to W23DN. The station owner has applied to the FCC to move to channel 6 for its migration to DTV broadcasting. This digital companion channel, which has since been given a construction permit, has callsign W06CM-D.
The analog station is on the same broadcast tower, located near the North Druid Hills section of Atlanta, as TV stations WUVM-LP 4, WATL TV 25 (36.1), WGCL-TV 19 (46.1), WUVG-TV 48 (34.1/2) (not previous analog), WPCH-TV 20 (17.1), and construction permit for WIRE-CA 40. FM stations on the same tower are WWWQ FM 99.7 (formerly WNNX FM), WRFG FM 89.3, and WKHX-FM 101.5, as well as an application for a broadcast translator from Immanuel Broadcasting Network on 101.9. Another tower about 120 meters to the west holds the existing WKHX-FM 101.5, WUBL FM 94.9, and WKLS FM 96.1, and applications for broadcast translators on 89.7 and 88.9 from WAY-FM Media Group.
The digital station's application and permit are for the WUPA TV 69 tower. (33°44′40.5″N 84°21′35.9″W / 33.744583°N 84.359972°W, see list of Atlanta broadcast stations by location)
