WGA Strike’s End Draws Near …. Hopefully
January 18, 2008 by Ingrid Diaz
This isn’t a direct Grey’s Anatomy news bit, but it does have a very direct impact on our favorite show so I thought I’d let you guys know that the DGA (Directors Guild of America) seems to have reached a “tentative agreement on the terms of its new contract” which means that if the deal goes through it’s very likely that the WGA will drop the picketing signs and agree to something along the same lines.
So far negotiations with the writers have been pretty stagnant ever since the studios walked out of the December 7th sitdown.
Looks like the DGA worked out a deal under which members would receive monetary compensation for TV episodes online, which is mainly what the WGA has been fighting for anyway.
Let’s hope that this DGA deal goes through and that it means good things for the WGA as well. It’d be nice to get our writers back to writing our favorite shows. I’m sure they’d also like to go back to receiving some paychecks, too.

YAY IM so happy i was thinking there would never be a new grey’s anatomy!
I have been a die hard fan of Grey’s Anatomy since it first aired. I know that the ratings are through the roof for Grey’s Anatomy and there is tons of money being made. I support the actors and the writers on strike. Everyone involved in the making of Grey’s should recieve compensation for the online downloads. If not for the writers and actors there would be nothing to download! I hate this strike and it is not fair. I don’t see how this will benefit abc at all. The viewers will get tired of waiting and find other shows to replace Grey’s. Once again it’s all about GREED!
Thank god – I’m ready for some new episodes again!
