Aereo to Close Boston Office, Layoff Staff

Aereo, the streaming TV service that suffered a massive setback with a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year, will close its office in Boston and lay off 43 employees. A company spokesperson confirmed the move in an email statement to BostInno:

Spokeswoman Virginia Lam said the company will continue on in some form: “In an effort to reduce costs, we made the difficult decision to lay off some of our staff in Boston and New York. We are continuing to conserve resources while we chart our path forward. We are grateful to our employees for their loyalty, hard work and dedication. This was a difficult, but necessary step in order to preserve the company.”
