| 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 | WUPL will be transitioning to a new primary facility per their new assignment. this will include a new primary antenna, transmission line and transmitter. During this transition WUPL will need to construct an interim facility. |
