Broadcaster Information and Transition Plan

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. Yes
Briefly describe transition plan All 4 broadcasters will need to replace antennas on the candelabra. The transition plan for WRAL / WRAZ is to replace the existing Aux antenna with a single ch15 / 17 slot antenna at approx 1720ft (524m) to use as both the new AUX and interim facility.
