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 Relocate from ASR #1022678 to ASR #1045602. Replace non-retunable transmitter, install side mounted antenna and transmission line to operate on post-repack channel. Call letters switched from WPME to WIPL.
