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 Pre-transition: Install transfer switch between existing combiner output and feed to antenna, install new WSKA-DT transmission system into transfer switch. Day-of-transition: switch. Post-transition: tune DigiTline for optimal performance on new channel.
