-Images below were NOT recovered from the Wayback Machine (Wayback returned
-HTML overlays instead of raw files). Ryan needs to supply these from local
-storage or the original advertiser.
+The active banner pool is defined in `src/lib/ads.ts`. Banners with an
+`adsanity_id` render via the Adsanity iframe at
+`https://ads.broadcastbeat.com/wp-content/plugins/adsanity/render.php?id=...`
+and need no local file. Banners with `src` need the file in
+`public/legacy/ads/`.

+## Adsanity campaign IDs to verify in WordPress admin
+- **Studio Hero** (currently `ad-162714`) — that ID was originally mapped
+  to "Studio Suite"; confirm the Hero campaign exists in Adsanity and
+  update `ads.ts` if a different ID is correct.
+- **Blackmagic 300x600** (currently `ad-210571`) — that ID is also used by
+  the Riedel campaign in the historical map; confirm the ATEM 4 M/E
+  campaign has its own ID.

+## Optional local-file upgrades
+These banners currently render via Adsanity iframe. To swap to a faster
+local render, drop the image into `public/legacy/ads/` and add `src` +
+`alt` + `click_url` to the corresponding entry in `src/lib/ads.ts`.
