An advertisement for attorney Alexander Shunnarah on one of Alabama’s largest billboards has been replaced, AL.com reports.

The billboard for the “Call Me Alabama!” celebrity attorney had previously occupied the Two North 20th Building in Birmingham, AL for more than a year.

Randy Otto, CEO of the advertising firm Trailhead Media (Laurel, MS), says that an Alabama A&M billboard will take its place for at least the next nine months, according to AL.com.

The sign atop the building measures 179 x 25 ft. and prior to going dark in 1988, it was an electronic sign with more than 1,330 lights, projecting changing messages.
