Scriptwriters strike threatens TV shows and reruns
Los Angeles AP The Writers Guild of America called a strike after rejecting a final offer from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. A 9,000 member walkout begins at 9 a.m. PST with picketing planned at 10 a.m. at 20th Century Fox. Networks face immediate reruns, especially NBC programs. The union seeks improved foreign market compensation and greater artistic control, while producers cite budget limits and stockpiled scripts.
