Broadcaster Information and Transition Plan

Back to Top
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 KODE is moving 1.5 km from its licensed site to collocate with KSNF so that both stations can share antennas & transmission line. Since KODE can operate at its existing site during the buildout, it will not need a new interim antenna or new interim line.
