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. Yes
Briefly describe transition plan WWAY will work with WECT and WSFX-TV to repack the current shared combiner, antenna and transmission line. Each station will supply its own transmitter. WWAY and WECT own tower, RF Line, combiner, antenna and building 50/50.
