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 | WPGA-TV will move from channel 32 to 23. A new transmitter will be needed because the current one cannot be retuned according to the manufacturer (as shown in the attached). A new antenna and transmission line will also be needed. |
