Plainview Outdoor is a full service outdoor advertising company located in Chattanooga, TN. The Company has over 140 years of combined experience serving the greater Chattanooga marketplace. Todd Plain is the Founder and CEO and Josh Plain is the company COO. We spoke with Josh Plain for an update on the business.
Can you provide us with an update on your inventory? Could you include a breakdown of static and digital signs?
Plainview currently serves 3 markets – Chattanooga, TN, Huntsville, AL, and Smyrna, GA, as well as a few locations throughout Northeast Tennessee. In total, we have roughly 120 static panels and 80 digital panels across the markets, including both billboard and transit displays.
Tell us about the markets you serve?
Chattanooga is our home market and continues to be a great market for us. The growth the city is seeing has been very enjoyable to watch and we continue to add to our growing client base we serve.
The Huntsville market is rapidly expanding as it is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. It is a newer market for us and we are very excited about the potential in this market, and the people in Huntsville have been a joy to work with.
Smyrna, GA is also a fantastic place to do business. We currently have 33 transit stations throughout the main corridors and are continuing to add digital ad panels to this portfolio. Smyrna is home to the Atlanta Braves as well and our units lead right up to the entrance of The Battery, the home of Truist Park. Further, this has been an exciting summer for the area as it played one of the host cities of the World Cup.
I know you build your own digital signs. Can you share some details about Plainview LED?
Absolutely. PlainView LED is a Chattanooga, Tennessee-based assembly and integrator of LED display solutions serving the out-of-home, sports, education, transit, government, and commercial signage markets. What makes us different is that we were founded by outdoor advertising operators—not electronics engineers—so every product we design is built from the perspective of the people who actually own, sell, operate, and maintain digital displays. That “built for operators by operators” philosophy continues to guide everything we do.
Our team assembles, tests, calibrates, and quality-checks our displays in Chattanooga before they leave our facility. Every display undergoes color calibration, brightness verification, burn-in testing, and system integration to ensure reliability in the field. We also develop our own proprietary content management platform, Spotlight, allowing customers to manage everything from a single business sign to a nationwide digital billboard network with software designed around real-world operator workflows.
Today, PlainView LED offers a complete portfolio of products including:
- Digital billboards
- Video scoreboards and jumbotrons
- Sideline LED displays
- Business and governmental digital signs
- Indoor LED displays
- Church signs
- Transit and bus shelter displays
- Custom architectural LED solutions
We’ve had the privilege of working on projects ranging from local businesses to major sports and entertainment venues. Some recent installations include video displays for UTC McKenzie Arena, Frost Stadium, CHI Memorial Stadium, Chattanooga Convention Center, Chattanooga Lookouts’ Erlanger Park, professional soccer venues, NCAA Division I athletic facilities, and digital transit deployments throughout Georgia. These projects demonstrate our ability to scale from a 4′ × 8′ business display to large-format stadium video systems and custom digital experiences.
Our outdoor advertising heritage also gives us a unique advantage in the billboard market. Because our leadership has owned and operated digital billboard networks, we understand uptime, serviceability, proof-of-performance photography, remote diagnostics, inventory management, and long-term operating costs. We standardized many of our components across product lines to simplify maintenance and minimize downtime for operators.
Customer support remains one of our biggest differentiators. Every project is backed by a knowledgeable U.S.-based technical team, and our digital billboard products include one of the industry’s strongest warranties with 10-year parts coverage. Rather than simply selling displays, our goal is to become a long-term technology partner that supports customers throughout the life of the product.
The digital signage industry continues to evolve rapidly, and PlainView LED is investing alongside it. Whether it’s helping independent billboard operators modernize their inventory, assisting schools in creating a better fan experience, or providing businesses with engaging digital communication platforms, our mission remains the same: deliver reliable, high-performance LED solutions backed by personalized service and real-world industry experience.
How is the remainder of this year shaping up for you?
If the second half of 2026 is anything like the first, we are in store for another record-breaking year for both companies. We are beyond excited about the future and are looking forward to a strong finish to 2026.
