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 | The transition plan is being handled by the Owner of the Tower, American Tower Corporation. The tower is complicated due to the total number of broadcasters collocated on the tower. There will be a Wide Band interim antenna side mounted on the tower 987' |
