WBRZ-TV, virtual channel 2 (VHF digital channel 13), is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. The station is owned by the Manship family, who formerly published the Baton Rouge daily newspaper, The Advocate, and is one of a handful of TV stations today to have locally-based ownership. WBRZ-TV is sister to Class A This TV affiliate KBTR-CD (channel 36), and the two stations share studios on Highland Road in Baton Rouge, just south of downtown. WBRZ-TV's transmitter is located in Sunshine, Louisiana. On cable, the station is available on Cox Communications and AT&T U-verse channel 5 in standard definition, and on digital channel 1005 in high definition. It is also seen via satellite through DirecTV and Dish Network.

WBRZ signed on the air on April 14, 1955, becoming the second television station in Baton Rouge, signing on exactly two years after CBS affiliate WAFB. It was also the longest running VHF outlet in Baton Rouge at the time, as WAFB originally broadcast on UHF channel 28 before moving to VHF channel 9 in 1960. WBRZ was a primary NBC affiliate, sharing ABC with WAFB. It began broadcasting in color seven months later, becoming the first Baton Rouge TV station to do so.

WBRZ carries the entire ABC schedule. However, it airs GMA3: What You Need To Know (previously The Chew and All My Children) at 11:00 a.m. on a one-day behind schedule (three-day behind for Friday's episode) due to the station's noon newscast. Syndicated programming includes Live with Kelly and Ryan, Dr. Phil, Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, and The Wendy Williams Show.

In 1993, WBRZ joined approximately 50 ABC affiliates in not airing the pilot episode of NYPD Blue due to local protests; the station decided on a week-by-week basis, at first, to air or not air episodes but eventually settled with airing episodes (including a rerun of the pilot).

In November 2004, WBRZ, along with many other ABC affiliates in the country, opted not to air the movie Saving Private Ryan when the network broadcast it uncut on Veterans Day. During Hurricane Katrina, the station worked with New Orleans ABC affiliate WGNO (channel 26) to provide coverage of the storm and its aftermath.
