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. | No |
Briefly describe transition plan | Purchase/install an aux antenna, a new transmitter (current one cannot be re-used) and we will use a spare transmission line to test our new channel (22) during the phase one testing period. Upon cutover we'll transition the above to permanent antenna. |
