Discovery

Yesterday we talked about how the WGA and studios were going to enter informal talks today, and it looks like those talks have actually made some news.

The WGA announced just a short time ago that they have dropped one of their main demands, that reality and animation writers be unionized. The union members say that they are going to try other ways to organize writers that work on animation shows and reality shows.

This is more evidence that the deal the Directors Guild made several days ago might actually speed up the negotiations with the WGA and the studios. Not in time to save this season, mind you, but hopefully in time to bring scripted shows back to our TV sets next fall.

Update: Nikki Finke has more info on the story, including the letter sent out by the WGA.
