WZVN-TV, virtual channel 26 (UHF digital channel 41), is an ABC-affiliated television station serving Fort Myers, Florida, United States that is licensed in Naples (as such, it is one of two Fort Myers-based stations licensed in Naples, alongside CW affiliate WXCW channel 46).
The station is owned by Montclair Communications; the Waterman Broadcasting Corporation, which owns NBC affiliate WBBH-TV (channel 20), operates WZVN-TV under a local marketing agreement. The two stations share studio facilities located on Central Avenue in Fort Myers; WZVN's transmitter is located along SR 31 in unincorporated southeastern Charlotte County; a backup transmitter is located in Bonita Springs. The station is also available on Comcast and CenturyLink channel 7.
The station is branded as "ABC 7", in reference to its channel location on most Fort Myers area cable systems.
On June 6, 2011, WZVN began airing programming from MeTV (digital multicast network that airs classic television sitcoms and dramas from the 1950s through the 1980s) on a second digital subchannel. This allotment was previously used to broadcast a standard definition simulcast of its main signal.
