Judgment Day: Aereo to Meet Broadcasters in Supreme Court Showdown

164680529

The battle between Aereo and television broadcasters is slated to be settled by the highest court in the land.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday afternoon announced that it will hear eight new cases, included among them is ABC, Inc., et al. v. Aereo, Inc

Aereo's chief executive, Chet Kanojia, said in a press release that he hoped a decision from the court would put an end to the ongoing legal battle between Aereo and broadcasters.

“We said from the beginning that it was our hope that this case would be decided on the merits and not through a wasteful war of attrition," Kanojia said. "We look forward to presenting our case to the Supreme Court and we have every confidence that the Court will validate and preserve a consumer's right to access local over-the-air television with an individual antenna, make a personal recording with a DVR, and watch that recording on a device of their choice."
