WGA Strike

The Writers Guild of America Strike is officially over. The writers have spoken (um, shouldn’t they have written?) and agreed to end the three month, multi-billion dollar damaging strike. Associated Press reports:

The Writers Guild of America said its members voted Tuesday to end their devastating, three-month strike that brought the entertainment industry to a standstill.

Writers will go back to work Wednesday after voting in Beverly Hills and New York.

“At the end of the day, everybody won. It was a fair deal and one that the companies can live with, and it recognizes the large contribution that writers have made to the industry,” said Leslie Moonves, chief executive officer of CBS Corp.

Great. Welcome back to the barren wasteland of the TV landscape. Enjoy, writers!
