KPEJ-TV
KPEJ-TV, virtual channel 24 (UHF digital channel 23), is a Fox-affiliated television station serving Midland, Texas, United States that is licensed to Odessa. Owned by Marshall Broadcasting, KPEJ is operated by Nexstar Broadcasting Group, which owns ABC affiliate, KMID. KPEJ maintains studio facilities located on Windview Street (along I-20) in southwestern Odessa, and its transmitter is located on FM 1788 in rural southeastern Andrews County.
==History==
The station first signed on the air on June 16, 1986; it originally operated as an independent station. In 1990, KPEJ became the Midland–Odessa market's Fox affiliate. In 1998, the station began carrying programming from the United Paramount Network (UPN) as a secondary affiliation; UPN programming moved to CBS affiliate KOSA-TV (channel 7) in 2003, when that station launched a second digital subchannel (now affiliated with MyNetworkTV). In August 2007, KPEJ changed its on-air branding from "Fox 24" to "Fox West Texas"; the following year, it reverted to the "Fox 24" brand, but continued to use the "Fox West Texas" brand for its website and other special promotions.
On April 24, 2013, the Communications Corporation of America announced the sale of its television stations to the Nexstar Broadcasting Group, owner of ABC affiliate KMID (channel 2). Since the Odessa–Midland market has only eight full-power stations, Nexstar could not legally purchase KPEJ (Federal Communications Commission rules require a market to have eight remaining unique station owners after a duopoly is formed). In addition, KMID and KPEJ are two of the four highest-rated stations in the market in monthly total-day viewership, respectively ranking at third and fourth place. As a result, Nexstar planned to sell KPEJ's license assets to Mission Broadcasting, with Nexstar assuming the station's operation under a shared services agreement, which would have formed a virtual duopoly with KMID.〔https://licensing.fcc.gov/cdbs/CDBS_Attachment/getattachment.jsp?appn=101552312&qnum=5040©num=1&exhcnum=1〕
However, on June 6, 2014, Nexstar announced that it would instead sell KPEJ-TV, along with two other Fox affiliates – sister station KMSS-TV in Shreveport, Louisiana and KLJB/Davenport, Iowa – to the Marshall Broadcasting Group (marking the company's first television station acquisitions) for $58.5 million. The minority-owned Marshall intends to fund the acquisitions through borrowings guaranteed by Nexstar, and are subject to FCC approval of the other stations Nexstar plans to acquire from ComCorp, White Knight Broadcasting and Grant Broadcasting; Marshall plans to launch news operations and provide sports and minority-oriented public affairs programming to KMSS and the other two stations, with Nexstar providing sales and certain non-programming services (including engineering, master control and other administrative functions).〔(Nexstar Selling 3 Fox Affils For $58.5 Million ), ''TVNewsCheck'', June 6, 2014.〕 The sale was completed on January 1, 2015.〔(Consummation Notice ), ''CDBS Public Access'', Federal Communications Commission, Retrieved 6 January 2015.〕
