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 Relocate from ATC to IWG tower. Use interim antenna at IWG until repack testing phase concludes. Install new transmitter and transmission line to interim ant, re-channel to post repack channel on new main antenna. See Transmitters and Antenna Exhibit.
