WVII-TV (channel 7) is a television station in Bangor, Maine, United States, affiliated with ABC. The station is owned by Rockfleet Broadcasting alongside Fox affiliate WFVX-LD (channel 22). WVII-TV and WFVX-LD share studios on Target Industrial Circle in West Bangor; through a channel sharing agreement, the two stations transmit using WVII-TV's spectrum from an antenna on Black Cap Mountain along the Penobscot and Hancock county line.[1]

WVII-TV serves as the default ABC affiliate through cable for the Presque Isle market, as that area does not have an ABC affiliate of its own. It is carried in the local tier of Charter Spectrum's cable system in Presque Isle, and is also offered as the ABC affiliate in the Presque Isle Dish Network and DirecTV channel lineups.
