How Will The Writers Strike Impact Your TV Viewing?

Last-ditch efforts to avert the WGA (Writers Guild of America) strike took place Sunday according to TV with MeeVee. However, those talks didn’t pan out and the picketing began today as predicted.

If the strike lingers, there will be very real consequences to the television shows you and I watch… The effects of which could be felt as soon as this week.

Here’s a quick rundown of how the strike might impact the shows on TV: Plan on very few, new late night talk shows and Comedy Central talk shows. No soaps (guess my wife will be unhappy), plus many shows will air the episodes they have written and produced and then run repeats – lots of repeats. You’ll also see tons of reality programming and not-new movies.
