| 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 | WETA transmits on channel 27 from a shared antenna. WETA was assigned channel 14 for repack, adjacent to Land Mobile operations. See the attached Budget Justification for details on the issues and the transition plan. |
