Strike Fears Rise As TV Writer Talks Lag
By Behind The Scenes TV on Oct 8, 2007 in Film Business, Hollywood, TV
Talks between Hollywood writers and studios abruptly broke off for the weekend, dimming hopes of averting a strike that could cripple the television industry.
The Writers Guild of America has been in talks since July with studios represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Negotiations lasted only about an hour on Friday and were not scheduled to resume until Tuesday.
In statements Friday, each side accused the other of intransigence and expressed frustration at the sluggish pace of negotiations.
