W46CR (Channel 46) is the 3ABN affiliate for western Midland County, Michigan in the United States. W46CR operates on low power and its city grade signal is viewable in parts of rural Isabella, Midland and Gratiot counties.

In March of 2005, W46CR applied for a move to channel 42 when WBSF (also on channel 46) signs its analog signal on the air. However, as of WBSF's sign on on September 13, 2006, W46CR is still broadcasting on channel 46. [1] In theory, W46CR's continuing prescence isn't expected to affect WBSF's operations outside of western Midland County, as W46CR's signal from the southwestern corner of the county is directional towards Sanford and Coleman, with its cities of license, Saginaw and Midland, outside its city-grade coverage area (in effect violating the FCC's City of License rules). However, there are reports of W46CR interfering with WBSF outside its general coverage area, as far east as Auburn, in Bay County. [2]
