Abstract
The invention relates to a system and method for simultaneously displaying advertising and general news information in elevator cabs and waiting areas. The invention consists of a plurality of display monitors coupled to a plurality of servers. In operation, a first server receives a program schedule with associated advertising and general news information over a communication link from at least a second server. At predetermined times according to the program schedule, the first server transmits the advertising and general information to associated display monitors for viewing by passengers in the elevator cabs. The display monitors and associated servers are each individually addressable thus allowing them to be simultaneously updated from a remote location with new program schedules, news updates, customized advertising information and the like.
