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 | New transmitters and combiner for WPBN-TV, WGTU, and WCMV to be installed, tested, and working into load prior to end of Transition Phase 6. It is not anticipated the buildup will affect current operations until night of cutover. See attached doc. |
