WUVF-CA is the Univisión affiliate for the Fort Myers-Naples, Florida television market. It is licensed in Naples, owned by Equity Broadcasting, and operates on VHF channel 2, with no digital signal. WUVF's programming can also be seen on WLZE-LP, channel 51, in Fort Myers. Both stations operate at a low-power, although channel 2 is licensed as a class A operation.

On April 4,2008 Equity announced the sale of all five of its Southwest Florida stations (including WUVF and WLZE) to Luken Communications, LLC for $8 million. Equity has cited corporate financial losses as a reason for the sale. ( [http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6548102.html] )

At one point, WUVF aired local newscasts at 6 and 11 p.m.; they were produced out of Little Rock, Arkansas, with reports produced in Southwest Florida. The newscasts were canceled in June 2008, after Equity instituted a companywide suspension of news programs.cite news |first=Chris |last=Wadsworth |title=MEDIA MATTERS: NBC2 hires two traffic anchors |url=http://www.news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008806160315 |work=The News-Press |date=2008-06-16 |accessdate=2008-06-19 ]
