Chinook Winds’ Beach Cam
is On the Air
The Chinook Winds beach cam made its debut May 1 on the Good Day Oregon
program on KPTV.
The beach cam is a small remote-controlled video camera mounted on the northwest
corner of the Chinook s Seafood Grill building. The camera can zoom into Cascade
Head or spin around to view the surf-line rocks to the south of the casino.
The accompanying photo shows an approximation of the northward view as seen
on KPTV. Those who watch KPTV in HDTV will see moving video very similar to
this frame and those with Standard Definition TV will see the picture without the blue
pillars on the left and right of the frame.
This shot will be used a minimum of 15 times per week within KPTV’s news
programs, a vivid reminder that “It’s Better at the Beach!”
This camera allows us to paint a picture for our valley customers when they’re fogged
in and we're sunny, or it’s 100 degrees in Portland and we’re at a comfortable 72, or when
we have one of our famous winter storms and the enormous breakers pound the beach
Tune into KPTV to check it out!

Tri-Vision Billboard Advertises Chinook Winds
Chinook Winds’ upcoming events
now are prominently displayed on the
first tri-vision billboard in Oregon.
The new tri-vision billboard is located
on the north side of the road on Highway
18 where the Wax Works billboard was
just east of the Fort Hill restaurant.
A tri-vision billboard is a rotary sign
that allows up to three advertisements to
be placed on the same billboard at the
same time, each covering the full display
area. The sign changes, allowing each
advertisement to be visible for a specific
amount of time and making it possible to
relay three messages to travelers in place
of one.
Tri-vision billboards have proved
to increase sales and awareness over
static boards. The human eye is highly
attracted to movement and anything that
is unique.
When people catch a glimpse of
movement on a huge billboard, they
tend to take a second look at the sign
and because they are paying more at
tention to the billboard, the readership
and recall rates are much higher than a
traditional billboard.
