TV Blogs Go Dark in Solidarity with the Writers Guild of America November 12, 2007 11:59 pm

Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in WGA Strike.
add a comment

On November 13th, this blog and the blogs listed below will be on strike for the day in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America. As fellow writers and as TV fans, we are coming together to express our strong support for the writers and their goals. We believe that when a writer’s work makes money for a company, that writer deserves to be paid.

Many writers depend on residuals for a stable income, and that income shouldn’t be based on an outdated formula which ignores the existence of new media and all but a tiny percentage of DVD sales. The talented writers responsible for so much of what we love about television should and must be paid fairly and equitably, and we will stand with them until they reach that goal. For everyone’s sake, and for the sake of television, we hope both sides can come to an agreement quickly.

To further that goal, we are calling on our readers to sign this petition and to contact the following television networks, voicing support for the writers and for a return to the negotiating table:

ABC
500 South Buena Vista Street
Burbank, CA 91521
(818) 460-7777

FOX
10201 W. Pico Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90035
(310) 369-1000

CBS
7800 Beverly Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90036
(323) 575-2345

NBC / Universal
100 Universal City Plaza
Universal City, CA 91608
(818) 777-1000

After the blackout, we intend to continue our campaign to support the WGA until the dispute has been resolved fairly. Since we will not be posting any new content on the 13th, we encourage our readers to visit United Hollywood instead for frequent updates about the strike.

In solidarity-

CBS dominates the evening among households and viewers, and wins among adults 18-49 as well, with a very strong outing for its sweeps crossover event of CSI (the night’s most watched show among households and viewers) and Without a Trace.

ABC though remained even from the week prior as Grey’s Anatomy continues to gain viewers week-to-week and maintains its strong demo audience (first for the evening among adults 18-49).

Led by the evening’s most watched series among adults 18-49 (House), Fox won the night among the demo and among both households and viewers.

However, it was a very competitive evening in overall viewership, with both CBS and ABC very close behind. CBS actually had the night’s most watched program in NCIS, which just narrowly finished ahead of House in total audience. The episode of NCIS was its most-watched episode ever for the fifth year series.

NBC also had some good news last night, as the network managed to leap frog both CBS and ABC to take second place on the evening among adults 18-49, thanks to a two-hour edition of The Biggest Loser and the always reliable Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
