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 File for CP as needed, Perform Towers Structural Study, modify tower as needed, build Interim facilities, remove existing transmitter and install new transmitter and antennas. Sweep antennas test and transition to new channel.
