I guess the OP may be talking about the option to add a banner when you edit a TV show.

It appears banners were more widely supported in the past. I suppose there might still be some older apps out there which support them – therefore the option to add/change banners is still available in the server.

The main apps have changed their UI over the years and no longer use banners.
