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 | Due to the complexity of this project and number of facilities involved, WFLD will install interim facilities at the John Hancock building, while existing antenna, transmission line, and transmitter are replaced at the main site on top of Willis Tower. |
