KEVU-CD, virtual and UHF digital channel 23, is a low-powered, Class A MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station licensed to Eugene, Oregon, United States. Owned by California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc. of Medford, Oregon, it is a sister station to Fox affiliate KLSR-TV (channel 34). The two stations share studios on Chad Drive in Eugene; KEVU-CD's transmitter is located on South Ridge.

Due to KEVU's low-power status, the station is simulcast on KLSR's second digital subchannel to expand its broadcasting radius. This signal broadcasts on UHF digital channel 31.4 (or virtual channel 34.2 via PSIP) from the same transmitting tower on South Ridge.

In August 2019, California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc. upgraded KEVU-CD to the 1080i full HD picture format;[1] prior to this upgrade, programming on this station was being presented in 480i 4:3 SD. Concurrent with this upgrade, the full-market simulcast over KLSR-DT2 was upgraded to the 720p HD picture format;[2] prior to this upgrade, the full-market simulcast of KEVU-CD over KLSR-DT2 was being presented in 480i 4:3 SD.
