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:
