Who We Are

For over 40 years, ABC7 Sarasota has been the local news leader for Sarasota and Manatee counties along Florida’s Suncoast. We are the only station with a team of extraordinarily experienced news anchors and meteorologists who have covered the Suncoast's local news, weather and sports for decades.

In November 2001, ABC7 moved into its state-of-the-art facility in downtown Sarasota. With everything from robotic cameras to server-based video editing and playback, this 21,500 square foot building provides all the resources necessary to be the leader in local news coverage over the air and on the web.

ABC7 reaches more than 400,000 households every day and is the most watched local TV station on the Suncoast. ABC7 is carried on Verizon, Comcast, Bright House, Dish Network, DirecTV and on Digital Antenna, so our coverage extends to the ENTIRE Suncoast.

From Palmetto to Port Charlotte, we cover it all. Whether it's breaking news story, hurricane or severe weather coverage or a local high school sports victory, ABC7 and MySuncoast.com is YOUR source for Suncoast news. We live, work and play in the communities we serve. We're Here for You!
