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 | WFND-LD is planning to purchase a new like-for-like transmitter and transmission line. Its newly purchased antenna will be an upgrade due to the addition of vertical polarization components. WFND-LD will remain on its pre-displacement tower. |
