This template displays an external link to the Federal Communications Commission FM Query database for the applicable United States FM broadcast radio station, including LPFM and translator stations.

Usage

{{FMQ|1=callsign|2=URL text}}

Parameters:

  • 1 - the station callsign, required
  • 2 - the URL text, optional

Historical note: Prior to the URL text parameter being added, the URL text Query the FCC's FM station database for {{{1}}}} was hard-coded into this template. When the URL text parameter was added, the previous text was left as the default.

Examples:

{{FMQ|WDRC|WDRC-FM}} WDRC-FM same as prior example
