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 A new antenna and transmitter are required to switch operations to Channel 36. Existing antenna needs to be removed, tower reinforced, and transmitter replaced. Existing transmission line can be re-purposed with the addition of matching transformers.
