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 WSBS-CD will be re-tuning its main transmitter and replacing the mask filter. An auxiliary transmitter will need to be replaced and a new antenna and line will be required to meet repack assignments and timelines.
