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 WXXI has installed and tested the New, Top Mounted Antenna and is operating on the new channel (channel 22) at full power. WXXI is yet to replace the existing Auxillary Transmission Line, for which no fittings are available for proper final installation.
