WDFL-LD (channel 18) is a low-power television station in Miami, Florida, United States, owned by Findal Media & Technology Group, Inc.[2] Its primary channel relays the second digital subchannel of Sunbeam Television–owned WSVN (channel 7), which is affiliated with ABC. WDFL-LD's transmitter is located in Andover, Florida.
On June 17, 2013, it was announced that CNN Latino would be carried on the station beginning on August 19 of the same year.[3][4][5][6] In February 2014, it was announced that CNN Latino would be ceasing operations; however, the station remained on the air with its programming and with more to be added.[7]
The station later flipped to a Spanish independent format as "Mira TV" in late 2014.[8]
In June 2020, it was announced that NewsNet would affiliate with the station.[9] In August 2024, due to NewsNet's shutdown, the station was replaced by Universal Living Faith Network (ULFN).[citation needed]
On June 26, 2025, Sunbeam Television announced an agreement to begin simulcasting WSVN's new ABC-affiliated subchannel on WDFL-LD upon its launch on August 4, 2025. In alignment with this agreement, multiple television providers in the Miami market will also carry WSVN-DT2 on channel 18.[10]
