| 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 | Replacement of the licensed main antenna, licensed auxiliary antenna, the 6" transmission line to the main antenna, the mask filter and the transmitters to complete reassignment from UHF channel 40 to channel 33 in phase 7 of channel repack. |
