Aereo Raises 38 Million For Over-The-Air TV

There are not too many companies more disruptive than Barry Diller’s Aereo TV that grabs over-the-air television and sends them to user’s mobile devices and PCs over the internet. It’s a cord-cutters dream and a cable companies worst nightmare. Not surprisingly, the New York based company has had to spend a lot in court fees but a $38 million B round signals renewed strength from the web TV service with plans to expand in 22 more cities.

TV Tech: 4K And OLED Showcases At CES

CES has always been about jaw-dropping TV tech and this year will be no different. While Samsung’s $9,000 55 inch OLED TV made a big splash in 2012, we might see less innovation and more focus on “semi-affordable” products for existing technologies like 4K ultra HD along with OLED.  It is also great to see CES hosting a full-day Second Screen Summit with executives from major networks, tech companies, and agencies including UM¹s Michael Barrett.  We’ll be sure to fill you in on details of that event, which has a special panel dedicated to opportunities in the advertising world.
