So as of right now the TV writers strike is really only affecting live TV such as Late Night Talk Shows, but the last strike in 1988 lasted 22 weeks.
Most prime time shows have about one month left of shows left before they will have to start reruns.
What do the writers want?
"The producers want the already negotiated DVD formula - 0.3 per cent of sales, or roughly four cents for each DVD sold - to apply to new media like online downloads and Web streaming. The writers say that is unacceptable. Furthermore, they want to re-open the DVD clause, noting that consumers spent more than $16 billion on DVDs last year. The writers, for their part, want what they consider to be a fair percentage of any profits from new revenue streams, regardless of the overall picture."
GIVE IT TO THEM!
Really it's not an outrageous demand. And really I will have to think of something better to do with my evenings other than watching my stories if they don't get it.
It's a tyring time for all (especially me).
