Man Mound

The Man Mound is a precontact earthwork of a humanoid figure located in Greenfield, Sauk County, Wisconsin, east of the city of Baraboo. Constructed during the Late Woodland period, the mound is the only surviving anthropomorphic effigy mound in North America. The mound depicts a humanoid figure with horns or a horned headdress and may have held religious or ceremonial significance to its builders. The mound was preserved as a county park in 1908, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.

W43BR

W43BR (channel 43) is a low-power television station licensed to Baraboo, Wisconsin, United States, serving the Wisconsin Dells area. Owned by Baraboo Broadcasting, it was formerly a sister to radio station WRPQ (740 AM and translator 99.7 FM) until the latter's sale to Civic Media. The two outlets continue to share studios on 8th Avenue in downtown Baraboo. W43BR's transmitter is situated on the Baraboo Range near Devil's Lake State Park, co-located with WOLX, W271DQ, W259BC, W290AL, NOAA Weather Radio station KHA-47 and several other telecommunication services. W43BR and WRPQ continue to share a website. W43BR formerly used the false callsign of WRPQ-TV on-air to connect to its then-sister radio station; however, it now identifies simply as "TV-43". Baraboo Broadcasting also operates Baraboo's local government access channel for Spectrum. W43BR's signal was originally beamed to the north and west so as not to interfere with Mayville-licensed TBN station WWRS-TV (channel 52), which formerly broadcast on digital channel 43. W43BR still broadcasts with a highly directional signal to protect Rockford, Illinois–based WTVO. W43BR has limited Spectrum cable coverage in the Baraboo/Wisconsin Dells area, along with surrounding portions of Columbia, Sauk, Adams and Juneau counties, and western portions of Dane County on channel 10. W43BR is also carried on TDS Telecom in parts of the Madison market. It is not available on cable in the city of Madison.
