Video Monitoring Service VMS Closes its Doors
The New York-based advertising monitoring service VMS closed its doors abruptly on Friday, August 26. The service initially posted the following message on its web site:
"The VMS Board with the input of qualified professionals has elected to close VMS. Unfortunately almost all VMS personnel have been terminated effective today. The decision has been made after exhaustively evaluating many different options and with sadness for our loyal staff and customers. At some point in the very near future a Trustee will be appointed to liquidate VMS. We anticipate the trustee will make future communications with customers. VMS thanks all customers for their loyal support."
The site, www.vmsinfo.com, has since been taken down. However, O'Dwyer's newsletter published a report on the closing on its web site on Friday, August 26, which contains more details. To view this, click here.
