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 | To expedite restoration of service and meet August 1 deadline, WZVI will install interim transmitter/antenna for STA operation on repack Ch. 21 and then complete installation of full authorized facility. SEE ATTACHMENT WZVI TRANSITION PLAN. |
