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 | The station will be transitioning from 17 to 16 (482-488 MHz). WALE-LD is planning a like-for-like replacement of its antenna and transmitter, and reuse of its transmission line and tower. |
