End In Sight For WGA Strike?

Inside Source Claims Writers, Producers On Track To Possible Deal

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A person familiar with negotiations said Monday the striking Hollywood writers guild remains on track for a possible deal with studios, but specific language of a new contract has yet to be resolved.

The Writers Guild of America bargaining committee and board of directors received updates on the status of informal talks with studio executives that began on Jan. 23, said the person, who was not authorized to publicly comment and requested anonymity.

The two sides made significant progress last week on the thorniest issues concerning compensation for projects distributed via the Internet, with a deal possible by the end of this week, the person said.

Specific details on the negotiations were not disclosed.

Major points of contention in the three-month strike include how much and when writers are paid for projects delivered online after being broadcast on TV.
