== Parameters ==
All fields except for <code>name</code>, <code>format</code>, and <code>owner</code> are optional and will be hidden when not used; when values are entered for the relevant parameters, the fields will automatically appear.

The parameters <code>translator</code> and <code>repeater</code> should not both be used, except in unusual circumstances. Similarly, <code>area</code> is not used to simply repeat the same information that is already present in <code>city</code>; it should be used only when it needs to provide different information, such as a wider metropolitan market that might be served by a station whose <code>city</code> is technically just a suburb of the whole market.

{{anchor|Country codes}}The following country shortcodes are supported in Infobox radio station and Infobox television station:
{{div col}}
* AR = Argentina
* AU = Australia
* BR = Brazil
* CA = Canada
* CN = China
* DE = Germany
* ES = Spain
* FR = France
* HK = Hong Kong
* ID = Indonesia
* IE = Ireland
* IN = India
* IL = Israel
* IT = Italy
* JP = Japan
* KE = Kenya
* KR = South Korea
* MX = Mexico
* NG = Nigeria
* NZ = New Zealand
* NO = Norway
* PH = Philippines
* PK = Pakistan
* SA = South Africa
* TR = Turkey
* TZ = Tanzania
* UK = United Kingdom
* US = United States
* VE = Venezuela
* ZW = Zimbabwe
{{div col end}}
{{#section:Template:Infobox Australian place/doc|image_upright}}

==Country-specific licensing parameters==
This template displays links to license information for select countries when certain parameters are supplied.

===Australia===
Set <code>licensing_authority</code> to <code><nowiki>[[Australian Communications and Media Authority|ACMA]]</nowiki></code> and enter the Broadcast Service Licence (BSL) number in the field <code>acma_bsl</code>.

===Brazil===
Set <code>licensing_authority</code> to <code><nowiki>[[National Telecommunications Agency (Brazil)|ANATEL]]</nowiki></code> and enter the hexadecimal Channel ID in the field <code>anatel_id</code>. This is the field labeled "ID do Canal" in the last column of the [http://sistemas.anatel.gov.br/se/public/view/b/srd.php ANATEL station search tool].

===United States===
Set <code>licensing_authority</code> to <code><nowiki>[[Federal Communications Commission|FCC]]</nowiki></code> and enter the numeric Facility ID assigned by the FCC in the field <code>facility_id</code>. The template will determine if the station is AM or FM by if the <code>power</code> (AM) or <code>erp</code> (FM) parameter is filled.

The {{para|facility_id}} parameter value is used to complete the URL <code><nowiki>https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/publicFacilityTechDetails.html?facilityId=</nowiki>''facility_id''</code> so nothing else should be placed in this parameter.

== Sub-templates ==
Where possible, use:

* {{Tl|Frequency}}
* {{Tl|Start date}}
* {{Tl|End date}}
* {{Tl|Coord}}
* {{Tl|URL}}

as above.

If the radio station streams, consider using:

* {{Tl|TuneIn}}
* {{Tl|IHeartRadio}}
* {{Tl|Audacy.com}}

If the radio station broadcasts digitally using the [[HD Radio]] digital radio standard, include {{Tl|HD Radio}} as part of the frequency parameter.

For lists, use {{tl|unbulleted list}} ({{tl|ubl}}) [[MOS:NOBR|instead of line breaks]] for accessibility reasons.

== Microformat ==
