Broadcaster Information and Transition Plan

Back to Top
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 Phase 1: Raise Aux Antenna & extend current aux transmission line to help match existing coverage using current Main TX on CH-39. Phase 2: Install new main antenna, reuse existing transmission line, install new Main&Aux transmitters, go live on CH 23.
