WVEN-TV, virtual channel 26 (UHF digital channel 49), is a Univision-affiliated television station that is licensed to Daytona Beach, Florida, United States. The station is owned by Entravision Communications Corporation, WVEN operates UniMás owned-and-operated station WOTF-DT (channel 43) through a local marketing agreement with that station's owner Univision Communications. The two stations share studios located in Altamonte Springs, and its transmitter is located in Christmas.
The station's transmitter has sufficient signal coverage to reach Orlando and Melbourne, Florida. However, WVEN's signal is relayed on two low-powered translator stations in order to ensure that the station's signal adequately covers both areas: these stations are WVCI-LP (channel 16) in Orlando and W46DB (channel 46) in Melbourne.
The station was assigned on February 9, 1987 the call sign of WLSY. On December 10, 1987, the call sign was changed to WAYQ. In 1988, Beach TV Partners signed on WAYQ at channel 26 as a simulcast of WAYK, giving them a signal in Daytona Beach. In early August 1990, owner Beach Television Partners based in Vero Beach filed for Chapter 11 reorganization over an inability to renegotiation loan payment schedule. At the time, the station was only carried part-time on CableVision of Central Florida, Orlando's major cable system. WAYK was affiliated with the Beach TV investor, Harry Handley, founded Star Television Network. The network launched in September 1990 only to close down on January 14, 1991.
