      US film and television writers launch their struggle

      Posted by Sandyenglish

      Twelve thousand members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) walked off the job Monday morning, as negotiators for the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) broke off talks Sunday night at 9:30 West Coast time, without reaching an agreement. The Writers Guild in New York had officially declared a strike at 12:01 Eastern time, 9 p.m. in Hollywood. This is the first writers’ strike in nearly 20 years. No talks are currently scheduled between the two sides.

      Mr. Glass is a radio wonk who got his start as a 19-year-old intern at National Public Radio. He has since worked as an audiotape editor, a newscast writer and an education reporter. He became known for having a light, fanciful touch with common folks, and in 1995 he was asked if he had any ideas for a local show in Chicago.

    ‘Lost’ creators say show will have end date

    There isn’t enough time before the universe dies of heat death for them to resolve all the loose ends.

    But I’ll still be watching.

    If it were a Microsoft product, the wireless mighty mouse would play music and blend daquiris and be completely unusable.
