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 | Replace existing solid state transmitter with new solid state transmitter, re-tune shared broadband antenna, replace combiner to accommodate new channel assignments and management of channels on shared tower. |
