| 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 | WTZP will purchase a new antenna, feedline and transmitter to replace temporary equipment now in use due to the displacement deadline. The project includes a tower study and all actions required to meet the current Ohio Building Code tower standards. |
