WSVN Channel 7
WSVN Channel 7, the flagship Fox and ABC affiliate of Sunbeam Television, delivers fast-paced local news and prime-time programming to Miami and South Florida viewers from its studios on the 79th Street Causeway in North Bay Village. Renowned for its 12 hours of daily local news, long-standing anchor teams, and community staples like Help Me Howard, WSVN Channel 7 has defined Miami television since becoming the Fox affiliate in 1989. In August 2025, it expanded by adding ABC programming on subchannel 7.2 after WPLG dropped the network, solidifying its dominance in South Florida broadcasting.
