They'll pump the pipeline full of reality, repurposed, and library content on TV, take the initial hit on ads, and see a net profit revealed by Q4 08. The WGA never had the leverage. They were doomed to fail amidst bluster and rhetoric and the AMPTA was more than happy to help that happen. Create an example of a quote unquote incaltricant guild then undermine their position with a quick resolution with a weaker guild, DGA, that wouldn't play a similar hardball and sit back and watch the WGA rank and file become disenchanted. Scary smart tactic.</p> Jeff Zuckers comments re the strike finally shed some light on the true corporate strategy behind the studios posturing. studios would use the strike as an excuse to cut overhead, inflated budgets, and useless layers of bureaucracy.

He turned the Today show into something special, he will do the same for NBC.</p> <p>You have to remember he might be saying things that he normally wouldn't say because he hasn't had any writers to write for him in awhile. ;)</p> Zuck is a smart dude.

You have to remember he might be saying things that he normally wouldn’t say because he hasn’t had any writers to write for him in awhile. ;)
