Gulf Coast ABC. WZVN-TV is an ABC-affiliated television station based in Naples, Florida, serving the Southwest Florida region including Fort Myers and Cape Coral. Owned by Montclair Communications and operated through a local marketing agreement with Hearst Television, it shares studios and resources with its sister station WBBH-TV.
The station first launched in 1974 as WEVU and experienced years of ownership changes and low ratings before stabilizing through strategic partnerships. In 1995, it rebranded as WZVN-TV to strengthen its identity and credibility in the market.
Today, WZVN-TV is known for its local news coverage under the “Gulf Coast News” brand, offering viewers reliable reporting, regional updates, and ABC network programming. Through its collaboration with WBBH-TV, the station benefits from shared resources while maintaining its own distinct presence in Southwest Florida’s media landscape.
