Updating Images
When updating images, please send a full image pack as a zip file containing the filenames & number in rotation order, e.g.
stationname_poster01.png
stationname_poster02.png
stationname_poster03.png
etc…
This ensures images on rotation appear in the order chosen by the radio station, and not by UKRP.
