    WGA set to strike - TV Season could be truncated/delayed

    I just heard that Leno and Colbert, although they are still supportive of the WGA strike, have said that they'll go back to work but that they are going to be addressing the WGA strike during their respective shows when they return in January. Everyone has to remember that their respective...

    It may save the studios money, with the strike, but the cost to the Economy in California is going to be greater ...

    WGA set to strike - TV Season could be truncated/delayed

    The WGA have said that the majority of their points are negotiable. The WGA is just adamant about online content, New Media.

    WGA set to strike - TV Season could be truncated/delayed

    There really isn't all that much that Governor Schwarzenegger can do to settle the strike nor anything that Washington can do. If they force the writers to go back to work then the AMPTP wins an think that's what the AMPTP is counting on. The only thing that the government can do is try and...

    WGA set to strike - TV Season could be truncated/delayed

    I'm curious how you guys are coming to the conclusion that these writers should only be paid for living expenses. If that were the case, then why does Hollywood pay actors and directors millions upon millions of dollars to star in a movie? Writers, Directors, Actors, Producers, etc get paid...

    WGA set to strike - TV Season could be truncated/delayed

    I don't understand the whole contention as to why so many people are upset that the WGA has been on strike through their negotiations. They have a very valid point and the very fact that the AMPTP refuses to negotiate is a slap in the face. The very fact that the AMPTP wants to test online...
