KUPB TV Midland TX

KUPB (channel 18) is a television station licensed to 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.

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. (KUPB was granted a construction permit after the Federal Communications Commission finalized the digital television allotment plan on April 21, 1997; as a result, the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station.) 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.
