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 Station granted CP RF 32 to RF 14 and CP Mod to move to new transmit site; will install an existing RYMSA antenna for RF 14 from another site; needs a new transmitter and tx line to connect to the antenna being moved; shares tx building only; not facility
