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 Transition from ch12 to ch13 and will require a new antenna as show by system analysis. A new transmitter and systems will also be required along with interim systems for use in the transition.
