[edit] It Broke

This template is somewhat broken due to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:HiddenStructure feature being disabled. I will attempt to correct this by modifing a new copy of the TV one that I think this template was copied from, but if anyone who actually knows what they're doing would like to fix this, please contact me :-). --AGoon 22:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Constructed new one from TV template, modified and removed some fields to match what we had, left in a few extra fields that weren't here before - audio_format, opentheme, endtheme, language, list_episodes. --AGoon 00:48, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Template

I'm going to merge Template:Infobox Radio with Template:Infobox Radio Show as they serve identical purposes and are almost the same, both being derived from Template:Infobox Television.
I will temporarily add a few extra fields to the Radio Station one then edit each page using this template to minimise disruption during the merge. --AGoon 20:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
