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 Media 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.
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.
