Broadcaster Information and Transition Plan

Back to Top
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 New 220v power circuits will be installed with existing 110v circuits. We will install new transmitter and antenna alongside existing equipment. Once testing is completed we will move existing feed line onto new transmitter and antenna.
