WOTF-DT, virtual and UHF digital channel 43, is a UniMás owned-and-operated television station serving Orlando, Florida, United States that is licensed to Melbourne. Owned by Univision Communications, WOTF is operated by Entravision Communications through a local marketing agreement with Univision affiliate WVEN-TV (channel 26). The two stations share studios located in Altamonte Springs, and WOTF's transmitter is located in Christmas.

On cable, the station is available in standard definition on channel 17 on Charter Spectrum, channel 22 on Comcast Xfinity, and channel 43 on CenturyLink Prism, and in high definition on Spectrum channel 903, Xfinity channel 441, and CenturyLink Prism channel 1043.

The station began operation on July 5, 1982 as an independent station under the callsign WMOD. It was owned by Press Broadcasting, and programmed a general entertainment format with an emphasis on movies and drama series, along with some game shows. The station's original studio facilities were located on Enterprise Court in Melbourne. Shows broadcast by the station in its early years included among others Ironside, Bonanza, Soap, One Day At A Time, The Joker's Wild and Tic Tac Dough. In 1984, WMOD became a more traditional independent station, and added sitcoms (such as The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Lucy Show, All in the Family, The Odd Couple and The Honeymooners) and cartoons (such as Inspector Gadget, Superfriends and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe).
