Large-format LED on highways, bridges and boulevards, motion, dayparting and dynamic triggers.
Pedestrian-scale panels and citylights in high-footfall retail and downtown corridors.
Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.
High-intent shoppers from midday to evening across the city's retail destinations.
Amarillo City Transit buses and the new downtown Multimodal Transfer Station plus stations and place-based screens with captive dwell.
Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Amarillo moves along its two interstates across the flat High Plains. I-40 carries the heaviest cross-country and local traffic east and west past Cadillac Ranch and the malls, while I-27 runs the commute south to Canyon and West Texas A&M. Downtown has revived around the Civic Center and Hodgetown ballpark, drawing evening and weekend crowds, and Historic Route 66 on Sixth Avenue pulls a steady nostalgia and dining flow. Retail concentrates around Soncy Road and Westgate Mall. Screens along I-40, Route 66 and downtown catch the most repeat Panhandle eyes.
I-40 Corridor and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
Westgate Mall / Soncy Retail and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Downtown / Hodgetown shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Amarillo doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Downtown / Hodgetown + I-40 Corridor | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Historic Route 66 / Sixth Avenue, I-40 Corridor | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | Westgate Mall / Soncy Retail, Downtown / Hodgetown | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | I-27 / Canyon Commute, I-40 Corridor | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Downtown / Hodgetown, Amarillo Blvd / Northeast | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Amarillo’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
The zones above already draw a specific buyer: defense and aerospace manufacturing, since Bell Textron's Amarillo Assembly Center builds the V-22 Osprey near the airport and sends engineers and contractors along the I-40 Corridor on weekday business hours (see DOOH for B2B), and beef processing and feedyard operators along the I-27 / Canyon Commute, since the Texas Panhandle processes roughly a quarter of the country's beef supply through plants like Tyson Foods.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Amarillo screen: the format (pricing runs higher on transit & downtown screens than on roadside & interstate digital), the zone (Downtown / Hodgetown carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Commute test
A week of morning and evening bursts on I-40 and I-27 into downtown.
Multi-zone Amarillo push
Downtown, the I-40 corridor and Westgate running together across peak dayparts.
Panhandle flagship
Full I-40 and downtown saturation timed to Sod Poodles games and the Route 66 season.
FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Lamar Advertising, Clear Channel Outdoor, OUTFRONT Media among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.
Yes. Every Amarillo screen on Blindspot is bookable by the hour, with no minimum contract and no retainer. You pick the exact windows, so you can buy the morning commute on I-40 Corridor, the afternoon retail stretch around Westgate Mall / Soncy Retail, or the evening social hours in Downtown / Hodgetown, and skip everything between. Because you pay per play instead of for a fixed four-week flight, the same budget concentrated into proven peak windows buys more useful frequency than the same money spread across every hour including the overnight ones nobody sees. Availability and the per-play price are visible before you commit, and you can start with one screen and one daypart.
Blindspot puts the bookable digital out-of-home screens across Amarillo on a single map: roadside and boulevard LED, street-level panels and citylights, transit and station screens, mall and place-based displays, and landmark placements, all priced per play and bookable by the hour. That spans zones from Downtown / Hodgetown through to Amarillo Blvd / Northeast. The underlying screens are owned and run by media operators such as Lamar Advertising, Clear Channel Outdoor and OUTFRONT Media, and Blindspot books time on their existing, already-permitted structures rather than reselling a fixed package. You see each screen, its zone, its per-play price and its live availability before committing, so you are choosing specific screens and hours rather than buying an unspecified network bundle.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Content approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than most people expect, because you are buying plays rather than weeks. A $500 budget in Amarillo typically funds a multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic corridor such as I-40 Corridor, a concentrated burst across the busiest retail and transit screens at peak hours only, or thousands of plays on central urban panels where the per-play price is lowest. At entry prices around $0.28 per play, the arithmetic is straightforward and visible before you commit. What it will not stretch to is 24/7 coverage of a landmark spectacular, and that is the point of hourly buying: concentrate a small budget where and when it is seen instead of thinning it across hours with no audience.
No. Blindspot has no minimums, retainers or platform fees; you can run a focused hourly burst on a single screen or a full multi-zone Amarillo campaign.
