Diller: Aereo Means Local TV For Everyone

Barry Diller, chairman and senior executive of IAC, was the first honoree to speak at the 11th annual Giants of Broadcasting event, sponsored by the Library of American Broadcasting, at Gotham Hall in New York on Oct. 16, 2013. "[It's funny that] I get this honor when many people in this room are suing me," Diller said, in reference to Aereo, the company backed by Diller, and its current legal battles with broadcasters. Diller also called local TV, "the last one standing -- standing forever," in the media world, and said TV stations were "one of the great buys."
