Broadcaster Information and Transition Plan

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	Transition will be a flash cut from current channel to repack channel with expected off-air time of up to two days. Ahead of antenna change, licensee will make all necessary transmitter and RF system changes. New transmitter & antenna required.
