KUNP, UHF digital channel 16, is a Univision-affiliated television station serving Portland, Oregon, United States that is licensed to La Grande. The station also serves the Bend and Eugene television markets. KUNP is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, as part of a duopoly with Portland-licensed ABC affiliate KATU (channel 2). The two stations share studios and offices located in northeastern Portland. KUNP's transmitter is located east of Cove atop of Mt. Fanny, within eastern Oregon's Wallowa–Whitman National Forest.
Because of the location of its transmitter facilities 240 miles (390 km) from Downtown Portland, KUNP relies on a translator station to relay its signal: KUNP-LD (UHF digital channel 47) in Portland, operating with an effective radiated power of 15 kilowatts, along with cable and satellite coverage folded into KATU's carriage agreements to cover the market, along with some outlying areas. It also previously relayed its signal via KABH-LP (UHF channel 15) in Bend, operating with an effective radiated power of 84 kilowatts. KABH was jointly owned by WatchTV, Inc. alongside its crosstown Portland HSN affiliate KORK-CA, but was operated by Sinclair under a local marketing agreement. KABH's license was cancelled by the FCC on March 19, 2015 for failure to file a license renewal application.
