Question Response
Will the station be sharing equipment with another broadcast television station or stations (e.g., a shared antenna, co-location on a tower, use of the same transmitter room, multiple transmitters feeding a combiner, etc.)? If yes, enter the facility ID's of the other stations and click 'prefill' to download those stations' licensing information. Yes
Briefly describe transition plan WNJU has access to two combiner/antenna systems each with tunable filters. Operation will continue on one of the antennas while the other filter/combiner is retuned. Transmitter tuning will be done in stages with minor power reductions.
