| 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 | WFLD plans to install interim facilities in cooperation with other stations at Willis Tower, replace existing antennna, transmission line, and Transmitter. Complex site on top of Willis Tower. The building is still working on transition plan for the site. |
