Usage
Parameters with * are required fields. Link people if they have articles.
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
call_letters * | The call letters of the station, as assigned by the appropriate national broadcast authority. |
station_logo | An image of the station's logo. Should be resized to a width of 250 pixels or less. |
location * | The name of the municipality in which the station's programming originates. That is, the primary studio and office location. This is opposed to the transmitter location which may be in a different community, and also opposed to regional "satellite" studios or facilities. |
city | The municipality designated by the station's licence, where this differs from location. |
station_branding | The wording the station normally uses on-air and in advertising to identify itself, as opposed to the actual call letters. |
station_slogan | The station's slogan phrase(s), used for promotion and programming description rather than for station identification (distinguished from station_branding). |
analog * | Indicate the analog channel number of the station's primary analog transmitter, and whether it is in the VHF or UHF spectrum. Not applicable in areas or nations that have fully completed a digital switchover. |
digital * | Indicate the channel number of the station's primary digital transmitter, if applicable, and whether it is in the VHF or UHF spectrum. This information will be displayed as simply "Digital:" if no US temporary channel exists (see below) or as "Post-2009:" otherwise. |
temporary_digital * | Indicate the channel number and power of a US station's digital transmitter during DTV transition, if different from the station's permanent digital channel assignments. US DTV operations currently outside the 2-36 and 38-51 range will be forced to move in 2009. See fcc.gov, w9wi.com or other sources for lists of affected stations. Currently displayed as "Digital:", this field will be removed from the template after US DTV transition is complete. |
subchannels * | List any digital subchannels, separating each line with <br/>, if not identified in "affiliations" or elsewhere. |
other_chs | Indicate channel numbers of the station's secondary transmitters, if applicable. Analog and digital transmitters should be identified as appropriate. |
affiliations * | Identifies which network(s) the station is associated with and which contribute regular programming. Use "Independent" if the station does not belong to any regular broadcast network. Do not list temporary or special-event networks; do not duplicate information already listed elsewhere. |
network | Redundant - use affiliations instead. |
owner * | The company which owns the station. |
licensee | Identify which company or entity holds the station licence, if different from owner. |
founded | The date on which the station corporate activities began, which will be prior to airdate. If the station has had multiple owners in its history, this would be a point-form chronology (see Example below). |
airdate | The date on which regular broadcasts began. |
callsign_meaning | The meaning behind the callsign letters, if available. |
sister_stations | Identify any very closely-related stations. |
former_callsigns | List any previous callsigns the station had during its history. |
former_channel_numbers | List any previous channel numbers the station had during its history. |
former_affiliations | List any previous affiliations (networks) the station had during its history. |
former_locations | List any previous locations the station had during its history. |
homepage | The station's official website. |
