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 WTIU will need to replace the current transmitter, exciter with backup, mask filter, combiner, dehydrator and top mount antenna to re-locate to digital Ch. 33. Current transmission line was sweep to verify acceptable RF/VSWR to operate on Ch.33.
