WOW Media

Inglewood voters will decide on two ballot initiatives in November: one to curtail video billboard advertising and another to increase stadium ticket taxes. The initiatives, backed by corporate sponsors, were approved by the Inglewood City Council after collecting sufficient signatures. The ticket tax proposal removes an annual revenue cap and adds a new tax for mid-sized venues.

Inglewood's digital billboards secured a legal victory as a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled the city can continue its agreement with WOW Media. The judge dismissed claims by SoFi Stadium, Kia Forum, and Intuit Dome that the deal violated bidding rules and breached contracts, citing compliance with public right-of-way regulations. The stadiums plan to appeal the decision.

Inglewood has won a legal battle against Hollywood Park, the owner of SoFi Stadium, over a billboard deal and infrastructure costs. A court ruled the city's agreement with WOW Media legal, but Hollywood Park plans to appeal. The dispute centers on tax revenue and development agreements tied to the stadium.
