| 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 | Terminate operation on Ch 47 after T-Mobile demand to vacate by 8/18/2018. Operate temporarily on Ch 20 with old equipment under STA LMS File No. 0000058280 granted 10/9/2018. Buy new equipment, move to Ch. 28 under LMS 0000088128 Nov. 2019. |
