'''WEAR''' is the is the ABC affiliate for the [[Pensacola]], [[Mobile]], and [[Fort Walton Beach]] viewing area. It is the only major affiliate in that market to be broadcast from Pensacola as opposed to Mobile. Its transmitter is located near Robertsdale, Alabama, and its studios are located on Mobile Highway in southwest Pensacola.
As a Pensacola-based station, their newscasts tend to focus on coverage of the Northwestern Florida, area as opposed to [[WKRG]] and [[WPMI]], which predominately feature news concerning the southern Alabama area. WEAR is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which prohibited a Nightline broadcast in 2004 because the company felt it was near anti-war rhetoric. Prior to July 19, 2005 Sinclair prohibited WEAR from broadcasting '''Jimmy Kimmel''' Live in the late night time slot.
WEAR also operates [[WFGX]], a MyNetworkTV affiliate station broadcasting on channel 35.

News programming at WEAR includes several recurring features, among these Angels in Our Midst, Eyesores, and Pay It Forward.
Angels in our Midst portrays the work of people in the Pensacola community whose kindness, compassion and work help make the city a better place.
Eyesores investigates deteriorating, neglected and abandoned properties, especially in residential neighborhoods. The investigative team tries to determine the owners and often confronts them about the hazards they create in the community.
Pay It Forward highlights the work of local charities, describing their work, interviewing key volunteers and staff and presenting the charity with a check from the sponsor of the program. The station solicits nominations of worthy local charities and community service organizations that might be good subjects for the program.
