Breaking: CBS News Writers OK Strike
Eighty-one percent of CBS news writers voted to authorize a strike. According to the Writers Guild of America East's Web site, the vote means the WGAE and WGAW are authorized to call a strike against CBS anytime. It is not yet clear how a strike would affect such programming as "CBS Nightly News" or "60 Minutes."
The WGA strike has already shut down most late-night variety programming, and several TV series and movies have been forced to halt production. The Los Angeles Times' Show Tracker blog has been posting regular updates on the strike.
