Overview & More informations

WTVE-TV, virtual channel 27
(UHF digital channel 24), is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Cocoa, Florida, United States and serving Central Florida. The station is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, as part of a duopoly with MyNetworkTV affiliate WOTF-TV (channel 31, licensed to Daytona Beach). Both stations share studios on Westkilometer Avenue in Casselberry, Florida, while WTVE-TV's transmitter is located in unincorporated Bithlo, Florida.

WTVE-TV was founded in 1961 by the Mid-Florida Television Corporation; it took the air on September 10 of that year as the first television station in Brevard County. The station originally operated as an independent outlet, and was owned locally by members of the Harris family. In 1971, WTIC Enterprises (the owner of WVIT in Hartford, Connecticut) bought a controlling interest in the station. In 1980, after WTIC Enterprises was sold to Taft Broadcasting (later known as Great American Broadcasting), WTIC and Taft swapped stations; Taft moved WTIC to New Britain, Connecticut, and sold WTVE-TV to Great American, which owned WNEP-TV in Scranton, Pennsylvania. In 1989, Great American merged with Park Communications, forming Park Media, Inc.

Park Media sold its television stations to Sinclair Broadcast Group in 1997. Sinclair continued to operate WTVE-TV from its longtime studios on Cocoa Boulevard in Cocoa, where the station had moved in 1980. In 2016, Sinclair moved WTVE-TV's operations to new studios in Casselberry, Florida. The move was made in order to consolidate Sinclair's operations in Central Florida, and to provide WTVE-TV with more modern facilities.

In addition to its main analog signal, WTVE-TV operates a digital signal on UHF channel 24. The station's digital signal was launched on December 12, 2009.
