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 | WETA-FM will move temporarily to its existing auxiliary location. There it will use the existing auxiliary antenna, auxiliary transmission line, and auxiliary tower. A fully reimbursable upgraded transmitter will be installed at this location. |
