Broadcaster Information and Transition Plan

Back to Top
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 Build CH 23 transmitter, replace ant at top of stack with CH 23 ant and feedline while remaining on CH 48 main ant on bottom of stack until transition date. Replace CH 48 aux ant with CH 23 aux ant. Test CH 23 system, go on the air on transition date.
