I would assume the

Help with Code Tags

url.sitename

should extract what you want.

Yep,

You can always see whats in the URL scope by cfdumping it like so:

 Help with Code Tags 
 ColdFusion Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<cfoutput><cfdump var="#URL#"></cfoutput>
<cfoutput><cfdump var="#URL#"></cfoutput>

on the target page.

You can check to see whats in the URL.sitename variable like so:

<cfoutput>#URL.sitename#</cfoutput>
<cfoutput>#URL.sitename#</cfoutput>

better still tou can do some checking first to see if the variable exists and isn't empty:

<cfoutput>
<cfif isdefined('URL.sitename') AND #URL.sitename# NEQ "">
#URL.sitename#
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
<cfoutput>
<cfif isdefined('URL.sitename') AND #URL.sitename# NEQ "">
#URL.sitename#
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
