NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Television executives’ nightmare scenarios for 2008 are coming closer to reality as the Hollywood writers strike enters its sixth week Monday.
Renewed contract talks between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers (AMPTP) broke off abruptly Friday, and industry executives see no end in sight to the worst Hollywood labor dispute in almost two decades.
The full effect of the strike will start to play across primetime in January. CBS, NBC and Fox have already outlined their first-quarter plans: midseason scripted shows, reality shows and judicious repeats. (ABC is expected to announce its strike-afflicted schedule early this week).
