| 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 displacement, WBND must transition from ch 34 to ch 35. WBND's transmitter is no longer supported and cannot be retuned so it is being replaced. WBND's antenna does not support channel 35, so it is being replaced with an channel 34/35 antenna. |
