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 WCNC will be moving from channel 22 to channel 24. This will require a new antenna, transmission line and transmitter. An interim facility will be required while these modifications take place and throughout assigned phase.
