Notes-bibliography style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

If you viewed an image, a live performance, a movie, or a television program or other broadcast source online (including podcasts), cite the online file. Like published works, online multimedia files generally have stable and available identifying information and should be included in your bibliography.

Follow the citation principles for the relevant type of source described above. Some elements, such as file dates, may be difficult to identify, but provide as much information as you can. In addition, list the title of the online site, the type of file, and (in notes, if relevant) the time at which the cited material appears in the file. Include the URL and an access date. Note that a URL alone is not sufficient; you must provide additional information so that a reader can search for the source even if the URL changes. If a file lacks an individual URL (as in the second example below), cite the site as a whole.
