Broadcaster Information and Transition Plan

Back to Top
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 Temporarily move to an interim site with a broadband antenna. Install a broadband transmitter capable of operating on pre and post transition channels for use when present site is rebuilt with new antenna, transmission line, and transmitter equipment.
