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 There is space in the transmitter building for the new Main and Aux transmitters after building modification is complete. WHIO TV will run the current main transmitter to the Aux Antenna during the installation of the New Main Transmitter.
