Construction Permits and STAs Requested

Ion Television engineers have been able to get the station back to 50% power and have obtained recycled replacement parts for the obsolete tube from a decommissioned transmitter at another location and is looking at several replacement options that will allow the station to operate at 100% from the site.

Expired, Expiring, Canceled and Dismissed
