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 I need minor Alteration of the tower to accommodate the channel change antenna. I filed with the FAA (ASN) 2017-AGL-4654-OE to increase tower height 26 feet. A Determination Of No Hazard To Navigation was granted by the FAA on 5/04/2017
