KMID-TV (Odessa, TX )
VerifiedTelevision
KMID-TV went on the air on December 18, 1953; making it the longest running station in the Midland/Odessa market. KMID was acquired by current owner Nexstar Broadcasting in 2000.
For many years, KMID was known as “Big 2”, but adopted the “ABC2” moniker in early 2004. However, in part because many Permian Basin residents still called the station “Big 2,” that nickname was revived in 2009, only to be changed on December 12, 2015, in favor of “Local 2.”
On April 24, 2013, Communications Corporation of America announced the sale of its entire group to Nexstar. KPEJ was to be sold to Mission Broadcasting. However on June 6, 2014, Nexstar announced that it would instead sell KPEJ-TV to a new minority-owned company, Marshall Broadcasting (marking the company’s first television station acquisitions), for $58.5 million. Nexstar would operate KPEJ under a shared services agreement, forming a virtual duopoly with KMID. The sale was completed on January 1, 2015. Source

Five takeaways from Trump’s big elections speech
(The Hill) – President Trump delivered an address to the nation on Thursday evening in which he sought to paint the state of U.S. election security as indefensible. In the process, Trump hoped to push for the passage of contentious legislation he favors — and to persuade more Americans to accept his widely debunked allegations of fraud in the 2020 election. In fact, Trump lost that election to former President Biden by around seven million votes, and by 306 to 232 votes in the electoral college.
