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 Map & analyze tower; modify if needed. Replace transmitter and antenna. Acquire interim antenna system to keep station on air while replacing antenna and for the duration of the phase. See attached Transition Plan.
