| 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 | Station to install equipment and transition to repack channel. This will be a complex project by converting from UHF to VHF, due to the size and location of the antenna. Antenna is in a downtown area and will require helicopter installation. |
