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 | WPSJ-CD employs a side-mounted antenna, which will be replaced. The transmission line will be reused. The antenna and new transmitter and mask filter will be replaced on the same day and flashed to the new channel. |
