| 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 | Station will flash cut from channel 29 to 30 once all equipment has been acquired. This will require placing the antenna and antenna on the tower first, to avoid lengthy downtime to switch over. |
