Another Strike Day For WGA

The Writers Guild of America resumed their strike today after breaking last Thursday. Talks with the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP) also continued today, although an agreement has yet to materialize. The four main networks are already changing up their TV lineups and some say the strike could continue until next year. It must be tough for the striking writers to even know what’s going on sometimes, as new rumors abound everyday. The Associated Press reported that the strike could cost ABC, CBS and Fox over $300 million, and this doesn’t even include NBC. It has so many facets to it, but the main thing is that writers would like to get paid for any work they’ve done that are shown on the internet, DVDs and other formats besides television. There’s more to our simple explanation of course, but they really just want a fair share of the millions the networks get from their labor. It’s been a few weeks of striking but it’s still a sad thing, especially through the holidays. We’ll keep you posted.
