CBS Outdoor is launching the first-of-its-kind campaign on behalf of HBO, which is promoting the third season of True Blood, premiering on HBO, June 13 at 9 p.m. As part of the promotion, HBO will be showing commuters a preview of the new season of True Blood using an ultra-thin 10-inch LCD screen, with audio, embedded into traditional two-sheet posters as part of HBO's Times Square Subway Domination.

The unique design of the self powered Video 2-Sheet brings traditional subway posters to a new level of engagement. CBS Outdoor worked with its partners Engagement Media and Standout Graphics to create this new digital media format.

"CBS Outdoor is very excited to showcase our latest digital media format with HBO," said David Lane, vice president, digital media, CBS Outdoor.
