I found an article that said most late night shows would go on hiatus. The "stars" are also members of the WGA, and most feel they need to show support to their writers. Though they might not be legally bound to the strike, it would be akin to crossing the picket line at GM.

An anonymous insider from NBC confirmed that Jay Leno and their other late-night shows would likely go into reruns. No word from CBS on Letterman. Stewart and Colbert do more of their own material than most, but Comedy Central has said they would likely go into reruns anyway, hinting that since the two of them are more recent stars with significant writing backgrounds, they would feel especially guilty about attempting to continue their shows. |

Well, I guess Nick@Nite's not worried, all they've done is re-runs from night one.

I don't watch hardly anything live... if it ends up looking good I usually go back & watch it. So it won't affect me much directly.
But I shudder at the thought of ANYTHING that would encourage more reality TV. Please!!! Have mercy!!! |

The "Heroes Origins" hiatus miniseries has been put on hold.
Too bad. I thought it was a cool experiment in eliminating rerun hell.

During the 2004-5 NHL hockey lockout, ESPN looked for other things to broadcast. They decided to show the World Series of Poker. Thus began a whole new form of entertainment and a whole new industry.
People found other things to be interested in. Hockey is still trying to recover. ESPN gave up its hockey contract and the NHL is now broadast on Versus. What? I don't even know if i GET Versus. What will replace written TV? If this lasts any length of time, the people will find alternatives. The last time the writers went on strike there was no public Internet. Hmmm. |

Well, Clod gave me the impression that the strike started 8 days ago, but according to Conan, it will start Monday unless (as Conan hopes) its resolved over the weekend.

Cuz you started this thread on the 1st, and since you gave no indication that the strike didn't start that day, I just figured that it started right after the deadline you mentioned.
