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 | Install interim antenna and connect to existing line Install new 7" EIA tx line and connect to existing antenna Will require new combiner for WCSC and WGWG. WGWG is not repacked. |
