| 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 | The station is implementing its displacement facilities at its licensed site on the roof of a building in downtown Boston. Transmission line is in place, The existing antenna will have to be removed and the displacement antenna mounted in its place. |
