Kupa

The Kupa (Croatian) or Kolpa (Slovene, from Latin: Colapis in Roman times) river, a right tributary of the Sava, forms a natural border between north-west Croatia and southeast Slovenia. It is 297 kilometres (185 miles) long, with its border part having a length of 118 km (73 mi) and the rest located in Croatia.

Course

The Kupa originates in Croatia in the mountainous region of Gorski Kotar, northeast of Rijeka, in the area of Risnjak National Park. It flows a few kilometers eastwards, receives the small Čabranka River from the left, before reaching the Slovenian border.

It then continues eastwards between the White Carniola region in the north and Central Croatia in the south. The Kupa receives influx from the river Lahinja from the left in Primostek, passes Vrbovsko, and eventually detaches from the Slovenian border having passed Metlika.

It then reaches the city of Karlovac, where it receives influx from two other rivers from the right, Dobra and Korana (which in turn is joined by Mrežnica). The Kupa continues flowing to the east, where it merges with Glina from the right as well as Odra from the left, and proceeds to the town of Sisak where it flows into the Sava River.

Kupa (Lėvuo)

The Kupa is a small river in northern Lithuania and a tributary of the Lėvuo. At first it flows to north but then near Juodupė town turns to the west. It flows through Kupiškis; the name of the town is derived from name of the river.

KUPA (1370 FM) is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Pearl City, Hawaii. The station is owned and operated by the Broadcasting Corporation of America.

KUPA broadcasts Chinese language programming to the Honolulu, Hawaii, area.

History

KUPA was originally KLNI in the 1980s before becoming KIPO/KIFO, a news/talk radio outlet operated by Hawaii Public Radio from 1990 to 2002, when it went off the air and was sold to a Utah-based company. In 2005, the broadcast license was sold to another Utah-based broadcaster who, after closing the sale in 2006, had planned to bring a Spanish language format to Honolulu, but changed his mind and opted to go with a sports talk format. KUPA returned to the air on August 31, 2007, with programming from Fox Sports Radio with plans to include local content.

On November 1, 2007, KUPA went off the air when it lost its transmitter site, with a brief return to maintain the license in November 2008 from a temporary site. The station resumed regular programming on March 15, 2010.
