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 Purchase transmitter, antenna, combiner, and transmission line. Current transmitter cannot be retuned to the new channel. Installation of interim antenna, transmission line, and combiner on co-located tower while main antenna is replaced.
