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 Major transmission systems (exciters, transmitter, mask filter, GLW1500 waveguide and antenna) require replacement. The tower structure will require reinforcement to meet REV-G.
