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 | KTPK-FM is collocated with, and leases space from television station KTKA. KTKA's repack work, requires replacing the leased tower, with a new tower. KTPK will construct new facilities on the new tower before the existing tower is dismantled. |

Justification for New Antenna | KTPK has no auxiliary facilities. As the current tower is being removed, KTPK must move to the new tower and, would incur significant off-air time and loss of revenue to move the existing antenna and line to new tower. There for a new antenna is needed. |
