WTWO, virtual channel 2 (UHF digital channel 36), is an NBC–affiliated television station located in Terre Haute, Indiana, United States. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group; Nexstar also operates ABC affiliate WAWV-TV (channel 38) under a joint sales agreement with owner Mission Broadcasting. The two stations share studio and transmitter facilities located on U.S. 41 in unincorporated Sullivan County (south of Farmersburg). On cable, WTWO is available on Time Warner Cable channel 7 in standard definition and in high definition on digital channel 707.
The station first signed on the air on September 1, 1965. Founded by Illiana Telecasting, the first program ever broadcast on WTWO was NBC's morning news program Today, which aired at 7:00 a.m. that morning. WTWO, whose call letters were originally assigned to what is now fellow NBC affiliate WLBZ in Bangor, Maine from 1954 to 1958, originally operated as a primary NBC affiliate with a secondary affiliation with ABC; it carried ABC network programs either on tape delay or by airing them live from the network feed through occasional preemptions of NBC programs (the most notable preemption being the 1967–1969 science fiction series Star Trek).
