This template displays an external link to Nielsen Audio (formerly Arbitron) for an AM station.

Usage

{{AMARB|callsign}}

There is only one parameter, the station callsign, and it is required. Do not include the -AM 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=am&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=am&callLetter=WGY
