New York, NY—December 20, 2013—Clear Channel Outdoor (NYSE: CCO) today announced it has expanded its array of full-motion digital billboards in New York City with three new screens at the highly-trafficked Penn Plaza, across from Madison Square Garden. On any given weekday, Penn Station, located at the Plaza, sees approximately 430,000 commuters and tourists, and with Madison Square Garden serving as the home to the New York Rangers, the New York Knicks, and a host of concerts and other premier events throughout the year, Clear Channel Outdoor’s new digital screens offer advertisers a valuable opportunity to build brands and move products.
Z100, New York’s Hit Music Station owned by Clear Channel Media + Entertainment, is helping celebrate the launch of the new Penn Plaza digital billboards with a promotional ticket giveaway to a VIP New Year’s Eve Party hosted at M&M’S World® Times Square. Only 1 in 100 peanuts is lucky enough to become an M&M’S Peanut Chocolate Candy – and some Z100 fans could be lucky enough to win tickets to an exclusive VIP New Year’s Eve party at M&M’S World® in Times Square! The Z100 and M&M’S® New Year’s Eve Party, one of the hottest tickets in town, is hosted by The Elvis Duran Morning Show’s Skeery Jones and Garret broadcasting up close and personal with their most devoted fans in the heart of Times Square and featuring DJ Riddler.
