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 New transmitter will be placed in existing building. A side mount antenna will be placed on existing tower until time to shut down current transmitter and put new TX online and correct primary antenna placed on top of the tower.
