Spokane DOOH · Riverfront Park · the University District · Gonzaga · June 2026
Spokane has 31 screens on Blindspot, all cinema screens, at about $0.15 a play, from Riverfront Park to the University District to the I-90 commute. Bookable by the hour, priced per play.
Spokane billboard and DOOH (digital out-of-home) costs span from a few cents per play on urban panels to premium Downtown, South Hill and landmark networks. On Blindspot, Spokane screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.27, with no contracts or minimums.
The smart Spokane play isn't one screen for a month. It's the right screens at the right hours: the arteries at commute peak, the malls through the afternoon, the nightlife and tourist cores after dark.

Formats
From a highway bulletin to a single mall screen, Blindspot puts Spokane's digital out-of-home and classic OOH formats on one map, each priced per play and bookable by the hour. The formats that matter here:
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.
Spokane Transit Authority (STA) bus and the City Line bus rapid transit screens plus stations and place-based screens with captive dwell.
Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Spokane spreads around the falls of the Spokane River and serves as the hub of the Inland Northwest, far from any larger city. Mornings load the I-90 commute toward Downtown and the Riverside core; evenings pull crowds to the Davenport District restaurants, the River Park Square blocks and the Garland and Perry creative districts; weekends fill Riverfront Park, the legacy of Expo '74, and the Hoopfest and Bloomsday crowds. Gonzaga basketball packs the McCarthey Center, the University District holds six campuses across the river, and STA runs the new City Line through the core. Buy the morning commute and the Riverfront evening peak.
Riverfront Park 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.
South Hill 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 shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Spokane 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 + Riverfront Park | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | University District, Riverfront Park | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | South Hill, Downtown | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | I-90 corridor, Riverfront Park | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Downtown, Spokane Valley | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Spokane’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: higher education traffic through University District, home to Gonzaga University's campus along the Spokane River, and logistics and distribution workers along the I-90 corridor and Spokane Valley, where Amazon runs multiple fulfillment centers each employing over 1,000 people.

Pricing · updated June 2026
Per-play prices, not CPM mysteries. Live per-screen pricing and real-time availability are on every card in the platform; the ranges below reflect typical Blindspot pricing as of June 2026.
| Format | Price per play | Typical presence | Why it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roadside & freeway digital | from ~$0.27 per play | $100 buys hourly bursts on I-90 | drive-time commuter reach |
| Downtown digital spectacular | from ~$0.44 per play | the Riverside retail core | office and shopping dwell |
| Riverfront Park events digital | from ~$0.40 per play | the falls and event grounds | visitor and weekend audiences |
| University District campus digital | from ~$0.36 per play | the Gonzaga and college blocks | student and game-day audiences |
| STA City Line screens | from ~$0.29 per play | the bus rapid transit spine | walk-up urban commuters |
No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Spokane screen: the format (pricing runs higher on STA City Line screens than on roadside & freeway digital), the zone (Downtown & Riverside 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 the I-90 corridor into Downtown.
Multi-zone Spokane push
Downtown, Riverfront Park and the University District running together across peak dayparts.
Hoopfest flagship
Full Downtown and Riverfront Park saturation timed to Hoopfest, Bloomsday and Gonzaga home games.
FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Lamar Advertising, OUTFRONT Media, Clear Channel Outdoor 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 Spokane 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 Riverfront Park & the Falls, the afternoon retail stretch around South Hill & the Perry District, or the evening social hours in Downtown & Riverside, 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 Spokane 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 & Riverside through to Spokane Valley & the Mall. The underlying screens are owned and run by media operators such as Lamar Advertising, OUTFRONT Media and Clear Channel Outdoor, 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 Spokane typically funds a multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic corridor such as Riverfront Park & the Falls, 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 $0.27 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 Spokane campaign.
