CLOUD PLAYOUT APILoop programs

Update a program

This endpoint renames a program on a Cloud Playout loop channel. Only the name can be changed. A program’s content is changed with the media, live, and playlist endpoints.

How it works

  1. Make a PATCH request to this endpoint, replacing {channelId} and {programId} with the UUIDs of the channel and the program.

  2. Provide the new name in the request body.

  3. The response returns the program with its updated details.

A program can be renamed at any time, including while the channel is on air. Renaming does not change what the channel plays.

Example

A broadcaster renames “Block A” to “Morning block” so that the line-up reads clearly to the operators scheduling around it.
