Voices of the Writers Strike
Friday, November 09, 2007
New York, NY –
Missing your favorite television show? The major networks are expected to announce in the coming days alternative programming as the writer's strike enters its 5th day. Some shows have ceased production while others have stockpiled scripts, but those too can be affected if the strike goes on much longer.
We visited a picket line across the street from where Law & Order is taped at Chelsea Piers. That's where we found this group of comedy writers. WNYC's Richard Hake asked these writers what it's like to take a break from scanning the papers each morning and making fun of what's in the news.
You heard writers from Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock and the Colbert Report talking with WNYC's Richard Hake on the picket line. The main sticking point between the writers and producers is payment from DVD sales and the rights to show programs on the internet. No new talks have been scheduled.
