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 The WLCU-CD antenna is side mounted on a short guyed tower. The station will flash-cut to the new channel when its antenna is replaced and transmitter retuned to the new channel with the new mask filter installation.
