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. No
Briefly describe transition plan Operate on new interim transmitter facilities with existing antennas, until the table of allocations could move us to UHF to build the permanent post-auction facility with new transmitters and antennas that the towers could support.
