may or may NOT be seeing your shows...Actually I have several friends
in the industry and this strike may linger into the new year.
Ok we have all heard that late night shows, leno, letterman and the
ilk will start showing repeats or winging it on their own, IF they
decide not to honor their writers who are striking.
Talk shows, only tape 5-7 days in advance. So repeats will start soon
Soaps tape 2-3 weeks in advance.
Primetime shows, shoot a month or two in advance.
Now we are into November sweeps so all your primetime shows should
not be affected at all. Actually just about all primetime shows
should be set until Christmas as they shoot on a shortened schedule
after november 1st. due to the holidays.
However, new episodes for January leading into Feb sweeps will be
affected. Just how much who knows.
