| 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 | Switch to backup transmitter and auxiliary antenna to allow main transmitter and combiner filter to be retuned and mask filter replaced for operation on new channel. Remain on auxiliary until operation can start on the new channel. |
