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 | WETA proposes to build its repack facility on channel 31 and will be sharing its main antenna, transmission line and combiner with two other parties. See the attached updated narrative for the background and details of its transition plan. |
