| 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 | Our transition plan consists of 7 phases, 1. CP filing, 2. File during 2nd Window, 3. Order verify and store equipment, 4. Tower work, 5. Install Transmitter and Test, 6. Commence broadcasting, 7. Terminate Ch #42 operations and remove equipment. |
