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 | Station has licensed aux line and antenna they will use as interim. Remove and replace top mounted antenna and connect to existing line. Station needs small rental interim transmitter while dual IOT is replaced due to building space considerations. |
