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 We will install a DTV 32 aux TX in the existing building feeding a side mount antenna with 4" flex @ 800' level with a ERP of 200 kW. Once the aux is online, we will then remove the main DTV 32 TX and install a new DTV 19 TX that will feed a new antenna
