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 WDJT will operate from a interim transmitter and transmission line into the current antenna while the current transmitter is retuned from 46 to 29. A new sidemount antenna will replace the existing sidemount, The existing transmission will be reused.
