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. No
Briefly describe transition plan Install new main dual transmitter and main antenna while using licensed AUX facility during tower work and throughout the assigned phase. Map and analyze tower; design and modify tower. Install new AUX antenna and AUX transmitter post-transition.
