Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenues	2. Revenues On January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (Codified as ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases The majority of our billboard, logo, and transit advertising space contracts commencing prior to January 1, 2019 are accounted for under ASC 840 and will continue to be accounted for under the topic until they are completed or modified. Advertising space contracts commencing or amended on or after January 1, 2019 which do not meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842 are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue Due to the transition of our advertising space contracts into ASC 606 we are now required to capitalize our costs to fulfill a contract and expense the costs over the contract period. These costs include our costs to install advertising copy onto billboards. These costs were expensed as incurred under ASC 840. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we capitalized $5,814 costs to fulfill a contract which is included in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of expensed costs of $1,119. The expensed costs are recorded in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Revenue Recognition Advertising revenues : The majority of our revenues are derived from contracts for advertising space on billboard, logo and transit displays. Our contracts commencing prior to January 1, 2019 are accounted for under ASC 840, . The majority of our contracts amended or commencing on or after January 1, 2019 are accounted for under ASC 606, The contract revenues, under ASC 840, and ASC 606, , are recognized ratably over their contract life. Other revenues: Our other component of revenue primarily consists of production services which includes creating and printing the advertising copy. As of January 1, 2018 revenue for production contracts is recognized under ASC 606. Contract revenues for production services are recognized upon satisfaction of the contract which is typically less than one week. Arrangements with multiple performance obligations: Our contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations. For such arrangements, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. We determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers using expected cost plus margin. Deferred revenues: We record deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligation. The term between invoicing and when a payment is due is not significant. For certain services we require payment before the product or services are delivered to the customer. The balance of deferred income is considered short-term and will be recognized in revenue within twelve months. Practical expedients and exemptions: Upon our transition to ASC 606 from ASC 840, the Company is utilizing the following practical expedients and exemptions from ASC 606. We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within direct advertising expense (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the majority of our contracts with customers have an original expected length of less than one year. For contracts with customers which exceed one year, the future amount to be invoiced to the customer corresponds directly with the value to be received by the customer. The following table presents our disaggregated revenue by source including both revenues accounted for under ASC 840 and ASC 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	3. Leases On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases The Company is party to various operating leases for production facilities, vehicles and sites upon which advertising structures are built, including our billboard land leases, leases of logo structures and leases of transit advertising space. The leases expire at various dates, have varying options to renew and cancel, and may contain escalation provisions. We expense our non-variable lease payments ratably over the lease term. Also, certain of our leases contain variable lease payments based on percentage of revenue or consumer price index or other inflation-based indices. The variable lease costs are expensed in the period incurred. The key estimates for our leases include (1) the discount rate used to discount the unpaid lease payment to present value and (2) lease term. Our leases generally do not include a readily determinable implicit rate, therefore, using a portfolio approach, we determine our collateralized incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payment based on the information available at lease commencement. Our lease terms include the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we had operating lease costs of $77,350 and variable lease costs of $17,084 which are recorded in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Also, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a gain of $4,104 in (gain) loss of disposition of assets related to the amendment and termination of lease agreements. Cash payments of $96,733 were made reducing our operating lease liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and are included in cash flows provided by operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We elected the short-term lease exemption for certain of our vehicle agreements. This election allows the Company to not recognize lease right of use assets (ROU assets) or lease liabilities for agreements with a term of twelve months or less. We recorded $1,129 in direct advertising expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for these agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Our operating leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of 12.0 years. The weighted-average discount rate of our operating leases is 4.84%. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2019, we obtained $4,391 of leased assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities. The following is a summary of the maturities of our operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2019: 2019 $ 157,990 2020 199,181 2021 173,785 2022 152,240 2023 129,240 Thereafter 815,928 Total undiscounted operating lease payments 1,628,364 Less: Imputed interest (424,356 ) Total operating lease liabilities $ 1,204,008 The following is a summary of minimum annual rental payments required under our operating lease that have original or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2018: 2019 $ 254,866 2020 $ 188,138 2021 $ 165,642 2022 $ 144,814 2023 $ 122,814 Thereafter $ 819,004

Acquisitions	4. Acquisitions Three months ended March 31, 2019 During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $66,423. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates of acquisition. The following is a summary of the allocation of the acquisition costs in the above transactions. Total Property, plant and equipment $ 12,671 Site locations 46,011 Non-competition agreements 110 Customer lists and contracts 8,047 Asset acquisition costs 515 Current assets 790 Current liabilities (221 ) Other liabilities (1,500 ) $ 66,423 Total acquired intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $54,683, of which $0 was assigned to goodwill. The acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The intangible assets include customer lists and contracts of $ 8,047 ( 7 year weighted average useful life) and site locations of $ 46,011 ( 15 year weighted average useful life). The aggregate amortization expense related to the 2019 acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $ 454 . Year Ended December 31, 2018 During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company completed several acquisitions of outdoor advertising assets for a total purchase price of $489,671, net of acquired cash of $8,554. The total purchase price consisted of the issuance of 163,137 shares of its Class A common stock for $12,282 and cash of $477,389. The purchases included the acquisition of assets in five U.S markets from Fairway Outdoor Advertising (“Fairway”) on December 21, 2018 for an aggregate purchase price of $418,500. As of March 31, 2019, our fair value allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Fairway is still considered preliminary and is subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to this allocation. We expect to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but not later than the end of 2019. In order to develop our updated preliminary fair values, the Company utilized a third party valuation firm to develop a fair value model which is currently under review by Management. Our updated preliminary fair value allocation of Fairway as of March 31, 2019 includes property, plant and equipment, intangibles and goodwill of $99,613, $192,250 and $139,038, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, goodwill was adjusted $43,079 due to updates from the original preliminary allocation provided as of December 31, 2018. The updated preliminary allocation resulted in prior and current period changes to depreciation and amortization. These changes were considered immaterial and recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Each of these acquisitions was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of each acquired entity from the date of acquisition. The acquisition costs have been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair market value at the dates of acquisition. The following is a summary of the allocation of the acquisition costs in the above transactions, excluding the preliminary allocation of Fairway. Total Property, plant and equipment $ 8,648 Site locations 57,105 Non-competition agreements 342 Customer lists and contracts 6,521 Asset acquisition costs 336 Current assets 1,041 Current liabilities (355 ) $ 73,638 Total acquired intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $402,740, of which $182,117 was assigned to goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized for financial statement purposes, and no goodwill related to 2018 acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The remaining $220,623 of acquired intangible assets have a weighted average useful life of approximately 14 years. The intangible assets include customer lists and contracts of $33,310 (7 year weighted average useful life) and site locations of $186,635 (15 year weighted average useful life). The aggregate amortization expense related to the 2018 acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $2,681.

Stock-Based Compensation	5. Stock-Based Compensation Equity Incentive Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 1996 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Incentive Plan”) has reserved 15.5 million shares of Class A common stock for issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options and common stock reserved for issuance under its performance-based incentive program. Options granted under the plan expire ten years from the grant date with vesting terms ranging from three to five years and include 1) options that vest in one-fifth increments beginning on the grant date and continuing on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and 2) options that cliff-vest on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. All grants are made at fair market value based on the closing price of our Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. The Company granted options for an aggregate of 36,000 shares of its Class A common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2019 a total of 764,700 shares were available for future grant. Stock Purchase Plan. Lamar Advertising’s 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or 2009 ESPP was approved by our shareholders on May 28, 2009. The number of shares of Class A common stock available under the 2009 ESPP was automatically increased by 85,162 shares on January 1, 2019 pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of the 2009 ESPP. The following is a summary of 2009 ESPP share activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019: Shares Available for future purchases, January 1, 2019 183,244 Additional shares reserved under 2009 ESPP 85,162 Purchases (44,161 ) Available for future purchases, March 31, 2019 224,245 Performance-based compensation. Unrestricted shares of our Class A common stock may be awarded to key officers, employees and directors under the Incentive Plan. The number of shares to be issued, if any, will be dependent on the level of achievement of performance measures for key officers and employees, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on our 2019 results. Any shares issued based on the achievement of performance goals will be issued in the first quarter of 2020. The shares subject to these awards can range from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 100% of the target number of shares depending on the level at which the goals are attained. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company has recorded $2,233 as stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based awards. In addition, each non-employee director automatically receives a restricted stock award of our Class A common stock upon election or re-election. The awards vest 50% on grant date and 50% on the last day of the directors’ one year term. The Company recorded a $46 stock-based compensation expense related to these awards for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Lamar Media borrowed all $450,000 in Term A loans on May 15, 2017. The net proceeds of the Term A loans, together with borrowing under the revolving portion of senior credit facility and cash on hand, were used to repay all outstanding amounts under the existing senior credit facility, and all revolving commitments under that facility were terminated. On March 16, 2018, Lamar Media entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 15, 2017, which amended the existing senior credit facility to establish a new $600,000 Term B Loan Facility (the “Term B loan”), which will mature on March 16, 2025. Lamar Media borrowed the full amount of the Term B loan on March 16, 2018. The proceeds from the Term B loan, together with available cash on hand were used to redeem in full Lamar Media’s 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022. On January 17, 2019, Lamar Media entered into an incremental amendment to the senior credit facility to include $100,000 in additional revolving commitments, thereby increasing the total borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility to $550,000. As of March 31, 2019, the senior credit facility consisted of (i) the revolving credit facility, (ii) the Term A loans, (iii) the Term B loans and (iv) the Incremental Facility. The Term A loans mature on May 15, 2022 and the Term B loans mature on March 16, 2025. The remaining quarterly installments are scheduled to be paid on each June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31 as follows: Principal Payment Date Term A Term B June 30, 2019 $ 5,625 $ 1,500 September 30, 2019-June 30, 2020 $ 8,438 $ 1,500 September 30, 2020-March 31, 2022 $ 16,875 $ 1,500 Term A Loan Maturity May 15, 2022 $ 253,125 $ — June 30, 2022-December 31, 2024 $ — $ 1,500 Term B Loan Maturity March 16, 2025 $ — $ 559,500 The Term loans bear interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar term loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate term loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75%; (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.50% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1 for Term A loans only). Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.50% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.25 to 1 for Term A loans only). The revolving credit facility bears interest at rates based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate (“Eurodollar revolving loans”) or the Adjusted Base Rate (“Base Rate revolving loans”), at Lamar Media’s option. Eurodollar revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.25% (or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 2.00% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1; or the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). Base Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.25% (or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 1.0% at any time the total debt ratio is less than or equal to 4.25 to 1, or the Adjusted Base Rate plus 0.75% at any time the Total Debt Ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1). The guarantees, covenants, events of and other terms of the senior credit facility apply to the Term A and B loans and revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2019, there was $180,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Availability under the revolving facility is reduced by the amount of any letters of credit outstanding. Lamar Media had $13,107 in letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2019 resulting in $356,893 of availability under its revolving facility. Revolving credit loans may be requested under the revolving credit facility at any time prior to its maturity on May 15, 2022. The terms of Lamar Media’s senior credit facility and the indentures relating to Lamar Media’s outstanding notes restrict, among other things, the ability of Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media to: • dispose of assets; • incur or repay debt; • create liens; • make investments; and • pay dividends. The senior credit facility contains provisions that allow Lamar Media to conduct its affairs in a manner that allows Lamar Advertising to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT, including by allowing Lamar Media to make distributions to Lamar Advertising required for the Company to qualify and remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, subject to certain restrictions. Lamar Media’s ability to make distributions to Lamar Advertising is also restricted under the terms of these agreements. Under Lamar Media’s senior credit facility the Company must maintain a specified senior debt ratio at all times and in addition, must satisfy a total debt ratio in order to incur debt, make distributions or make certain investments. Lamar Advertising and Lamar Media were in compliance with all of the terms of their indentures and the senior credit facility provisions during the periods presented. Accounts Receivable Securitization Program On December 18, 2018 Lamar Media entered into a $175,000 Receivable Financing Agreement (the “AR Program”) with its wholly-owned special purpose entities, Lamar QRS Receivables, LLC and Lamar TRS Receivables, LLC (the “Special Purpose Subsidiaries”) maturing on December 17, 2021. The AR Program is limited to the availability of eligible accounts receivable collateralizing the borrowings under the agreements governing the AR Program. Pursuant to two separate Purchase and Sale Agreements dated December 18, 2018, each of which is among Lamar Media as initial Servicer, certain of Lamar Media’s subsidiaries and a Special Purpose Subsidiary, the subsidiaries sold substantially all of their existing and future accounts receivable balances to the Special Purpose Subsidiaries. The Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans pursuant to the AR Program. Lamar Media retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral under the AR Program and provides a performance guaranty. As of March 31, 2019 there was $168,000 outstanding on the AR Program bearing interest at approximately 3.8%. The commitment fee based on the amount of unused commitments under the AR Program was immaterial during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The AR Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and the borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense (a component of general and administrative expenses) related to the pledged accounts receivable and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes On February 9, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “5 7/8% Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $489,000. The Company used the proceeds from the Term B loans to redeem all of the 5 7/8% Notes on March 19, 2018 at a redemption price of 101.958% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5 7/8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the redemption date. In conjunction with the redemption the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $15,429, of which $9,790 was cash, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. 5% Senior Subordinated Notes On October 30, 2012, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $535,000 aggregate principal amount of 5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “5% Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $527,100. Lamar Media may redeem the 5% Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5% Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date. 5 3/8% Senior Notes On January 10, 2014, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $510,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/8% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “5 3/8% Notes”). The institutional private placement resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $502,300. Lamar Media may redeem the 5 3/8% Notes, in whole or in part, in cash at redemption prices specified in the 5 3/8% Notes. In addition, if the Company or Lamar Media undergoes a change of control, Lamar Media may be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 5 3/8% Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 5 3/8% Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, up to but not including the repurchase date. 5 3/4% Senior Notes On January 28, 2016, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “5 3/4% Notes”). The institutional private placement on January 28, 2016 resulted in net proceeds to Lamar Media of approximately $394,500. On February 1, 2019, Lamar Media completed an institutional private placement of an additional $250,000 aggregate principal amount under its 5 3/4% Notes (the “New Notes”). Other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and CUSIP number, the New Notes have the same terms as the 5 3/4% Notes.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, investments, accounts payable and borrowings. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investment contracts are reported at fair values. Fair values for investments held at cost are not readily available, but are estimated to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt (including current maturities) was $3,107,410 which exceeded the carrying amount of $3,055,250 as of March 31, 2019. The majority of the fair value is determined using observed prices of publicly traded debt (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) and the remaining is valued based on quoted prices for similar debt (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).

New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	13. New Accounting Pronouncements Leases In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 Codification Improvements to Topic 842 Leases Targeted Improvements We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity was permitted to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information was not updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We elected the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. We also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for certain of our vehicle agreements. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Upon adoption, we recognized additional operating liabilities of $1.2 billion, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for our existing operating leases. In addition to the increase to the operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, Topic 842 also resulted in reclassifying the presentation of prepaid and deferred rent to operating lease right-of-use assets. Other recently released pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and other (Topic 350): Simplifying the test for goodwill impairment. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808).
