workingcinderellaman Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) QUOTE Hollywood writers strike comes to an end 09/02/2008 - 2:21:24 PM The Hollywood writers strike which has been crippling the US entertainment industry since last year is finally coming to an end. A deal has been reached between the major media companies and the Writer's Guild of America - whose members have been staging walkouts since November 2007 in an ongoing dispute over royalties. Although details of the agreement have yet to be released, it is thought writers will receive a larger share of royalties received through Internet broadcasts of their work. But the deal will still have to be approved by the Guild's board and then ratified by the union's 10,500 members before the strikes can officially come to an end. Speaking on US TV channel CNBC former Walt Disney chief executive Michael Eisner revealed the agreement was reached last Friday and he is sure the writers won't turn it down. Jany Leno will be funny again. Edit: I almost forgot, with this post, I am now a solar federalist.

Mr. Mojo Risin' Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sweet! I guess they execs realized that it wasn't nearly as good, and ratings were down. I was secretly hoping it wouldn't be over until mid-May, so it wouldn't distract me as much this semester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
