KUNP (channel 16) is an independent television station licensed to La Grande, Oregon, United States. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside Portland-based ABC affiliate KATU (channel 2). The two stations share studios on Northeast Sandy Boulevard in Portland; KUNP's transmitter is located east of Cove atop Mount 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's over-the-air signal is unable to reach Portland proper. To overcome this, its signal is relayed on a low-power translator station, KUNP-LD (channel 47), which serves the immediate Portland area from a transmitter on Willamette Stone Park Road (near Skyline Boulevard) in the Sylvan-Highlands section of Portland, along with cable and satellite coverage folded into KATU's retransmission consent agreements to cover the market, along with some outlying areas. Additionally, KUNP is simulcast in full high definition on KATU's second digital subchannel.
