WarningThis template is used on approximately 6,200 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
As of February 11, 2022, satellite, cable and IPTV channel number fields have been removed. Online fields will be removed soon (to allow for appropriate live stream links to be saved). Terrestrial fields will remain. See the RfC at Template talk:Infobox television channel#RfC for removal of "Availability" section.
This template was redesigned in September 2020. Many parameter names have changed.
