Clear Channel Outdoor’s Airports Division, the Americas-based airports business of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCO), today announced that it has been awarded a 10-year partnership extension through a competitive RFP process with Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority to provide the latest high-tech media for Huntsville International Airport (HSV). This new airport advertising concession deal continues a relationship that began in 1989, extending a 35-year partnership between Clear Channel Outdoor and Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority.

The new innovative advertising network is set to reach Huntsville International Airport’s 1.5 million annual passengers through dynamic out of home brand experiences across the entire airport. HSV was named the #1 Best Small Airport in the 2024 Newsweek Readers’ Choice Awards and is known throughout its 18-county service region for outstanding customer service and state-of-the-art technology and convenience.

Clear Channel Outdoor’s investment in the new media program will include:

• Two impressive large LED video walls accented by custom impactful regionally themed murals highlighting the richness and depth of “Rocket City;”
• A new and improved gate hold digital network, which will be integrated into the renovated gate hold HSV intends for completion over the next year and will significantly expand exposure and enhance the modernization work HSV is doing;
• Three dynamic new four-sided digital columns that will impact the arrivals departure area;
