OUTFRONT Media is the out-of-home advertising firm that worked with New York City and Max to mount the citywide promotion campaign for the second season of "And Just Like That ...".

Correction: A representative of Peacock has informed me that the character played by Matthew Fox in "Last Light" is "Andy Yeats," not "Andy Nielsen." However, the character is identified as "Andy Nielsen" on the show's landing page on Peacock's web site for journalists -- which is how I came to use it in today's TV Blog. Nevertheless, the TV Blog regrets the error.
