“Q107 and OBN used the unique technology of OBN (Outdoor Broadcast Network)'s outdoor video billboards to both brand the station and promote 'now playing' live tuning. The boards that use the Internet to deliver their information displayed in real time the song and the performer airing on Q107 and were set up in high-traffic locations around the city encouraging users to tune in.”
