I am rebranding my show, can I also change the show alias?
Unfortunately, if you are rebranding your show you are not able to change the show alias once set, as it's used as a unique identifier internally. Nevertheless, the show alias is rarely seen by listeners, so it's more important to change the show title and image. Also, remember to inform your listeners of any change you make!
