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 COBi has two co-owned stations at the same site that both need to be displaced. Plan to replace coaxial slot antenna with a common shared panel antenna to save money. Re-tune this facility transmitter.
