MUMBAI: After almost three weeks of striking work, writers are back to the negotiating table. As today‘s talks showed no concrete results, the warring parties are scheduled to meet again.
The Writers Guild of America went on strike on 5 November over payment for work aired on the Web. Writers want more money when TV shows and films are sold on Internet sites.
The strike is affecting daily shows and it is said that if the strike continues viewers will be subject to repeats. As many popular programmes like Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives come to the end of their stock, TV viewers may be a disappointed lot.
And as creative content comes to a halt, writers continue to picket outside major studios.
