Owner: Entravision Communications

Slogan: "Univision Orlando"

News: Noticias Orlando

Etc: This is the market's first full-power Spanish-language station. It previously was WVEN-LP, Channel 63, a low-power station. In 2000, it acquired independent station WNTO-Channel 26, and moved to its dial position. Channel 26, whose tower is north of Pierson in northwest Volusia County, improved the station's reach but it's still hard to get over the air in Orange County. Also added the market's first Spanish-language newscast in 2001, Monday-Friday at 6 and 11. The station caters to the large Puerto Rican population in Central Florida, and includes segments such as "Today in Puerto Rico." It has had content sharing agreements with WFTV-Channel 9 and now WESH-Channel 2, using some of the stations' video for its newscasts. On the weekends, it broadcasts "Las Noticias Univision," based in Puerto Rico.

Station History: Channel 26 was originally part of "Florida's SuperStation," which was a two-station setup that included WAYQ-Channel 26 in Daytona and WAYK-Channel 56 in Melbourne. The two stations aired lots of sports. The end of WAYQ came on Jan. 16, 1991, the night the U.S. attacked Iraq during Operation Desert Storm. A military jet accidentally knocked off the transmitter from Channel 26's tower. Channel 26 was dark from that point on for a number of years until it re-emerged as an informercial station and then WNTO (News Talk Orlando), which aired right-wing and conservative talk programs from the America's Voice network.

Digital subchannel programming: None.
