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. Yes
Briefly describe transition plan Due to the repack, KZCO must share a channel with KLPD; however previous tower owners wouldn't allow KLPD to move to it. KZCO must move to a new tower and upgrade equipment. KZCO is purchasing a new transmission line and upgraded transmitter and antenna.
