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 The WPCH repack plan includes the replacement of main transmitter, cost of a shared antenna and Interim system. It also includes all the analysis, engineering evaluation and electrical systems.
