(Revert my prior edit: upon further testing discovered the site defaults to the last season the user viewed, not the current season. Therefore "surveyID=" is needed in URL and this template will need to be updated four times per year to prevent the links from landing on an empty page.)

Query Nielsen Audio's FM station database for {{{1}}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template displays an external link to Nielsen Audio (formerly Arbitron) for an FM station. Note that many low-power FM stations are not included in Nielsen's database.

Usage

{{FMARB|callsign}}

There is only one parameter, the station callsign, and it is required. Do not include the -FM or -LP suffix.

Examples

To the right of each example is the displayed output. Below each example is the actual wiki-markup output which includes the URL. Template:Nowiki template demo Template:Nowiki template demo

Template maintenance

This template uses a URL in the following format:

https://www1.arbitron.com/sip/displaySip.do?surveyID=Season&band=fm&callLetter=Callsign

Season is a code representing the current season and year. Examples: SP17 for Spring 2017, SU17 for Summer 2017, FA17 for Fall 2017, and WI18 for Winter 2018. Therefore, this template should be updated each season. If not, the links will land on pages stating "No data found" such as:

https://www1.arbitron.com/sip/displaySip.do?surveyID=FA17&band=fm&callLetter=WDRC

TemplateData
