Outdoor Advertising Industry to Provide Results As They Happen Cincinnati, OH, February 28, 2008: For the first time, Ohio residents will be able to see the results of the state primary as they happen, thanks to the latest technology in outdoor advertising. Digital billboards across the state will provide real-time election results from the upcoming primary.

Digital billboards will be running in the following cities: * NortonHD Outdoor Network locations: two back-to-back displays at I-75 near Ludlow Avenue; one display at I-71 hear Florence Avenue, facing South; one display at I-275 near Mosteller, facing West. ##
