KUPB (channel 18) is a television station in Midland, Texas, United States, serving the Permian Basin area as an affiliate of the Spanish-language network Univision. The station is owned by Entravision Communications, and has studios on Younger Road in Midland; its transmitter is located on University Boulevard in West Odessa.
History
The station commenced broadcasting on analog channel 18 on May 14, 2001. KUPB moved to digital broadcasting on June 12, 2009, at 9 a.m., "flash-cutting" to digital channel 18 after a temporary (3 minutes) signal outage.[a] KUPB moved to high definition (1080i) at 10 a.m. on May 3, 2010.
In 2013, KUPB added a secondary station, KUPB-DT2, and began airing ZUUS Latino on 18.2. In 2014, it removed ZUUS Latino and replaced it with LATV.
In 2018, KUPB added two additional subchannels that broadcast English programming.
News operation
Script error: No such module "Lang". was launched on November 5, 2007, to provide news for the viewers in the Permian Basin. KUPB had been airing two-minute newsbriefs since August 2003. On October 13, 2008, the name of the newscast was changed to Script error: No such module "Lang". and began to be simulcast on San Angelo sister station KEUS-LP. In 2015, Entravision transferred production of KUPB's newscasts to El Paso sister station KINT-TV.[4]
