Common Questions

How do I edit a promotion?

Find the promotion in iBroadcast2 and then click on the image thumbnail or title link.

Why isn't my brand page superpromo visible on episode pages?

A series level superpromo takes precedence over a brand level promo. Where there is a series level superpromo this means that any superpromos attached to the brand are not rendered at all on the series itself, or on any children of the series.
