The Writers Guild of America called for a strike effective 12:01 a.m. PST on Tuesday.
The WGA called for a strike effective 12:01 a.m. PT on Tuesday.
"The AMPTP member companies remain united in their desire to reach a deal that is mutually beneficial to writers and the health and longevity of the industry, and to avoid hardship to the thousands of employees who depend upon the industry for their livelihoods," the AMPTP statement read, in part.Since the rise of streaming, viewers are much less tied to linear TV lineups, and that will dampen the immediate effect on scripted shows.
"It may be a long time before viewers really feel the impact of a strike if it were to go on for many weeks," Cynthia Littleton, co-editor-in-chief at Variety, told ABC News, adding that Netflix, Hulu and other streaming services have "such vast libraries of shows." "Streaming series are 10, eight, sometimes even six or even four episodes and that has affected cable television as well," Handel told ABC News. "It's affected network television as well. The number of episodes produced in aggregate per year in this business has actually declined."
The most recent full-fledged strike took place in 2007 and cost the California economy an estimated $2.1 billion.
