History

Historical Context

After The Walking Dead became basic-cable’s top-rated series in 2010, AMC turned to Times Square’s post-1993 illuminated-sign ordinance, using the square’s growing digital-billboard landscape—first introduced in 2005—to launch a high-visibility promotion in 2015. Netflix’s 2026 Sunset Boulevard living-room set follows the same experiential-ad model, cementing city-center billboards as a streaming-premiere staple.
