BURBANK, CA - DECEMBER 7: Members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) rally outside FremantleMedia North America to call attention to conditions for writers working on game shows and so-called reality television programming December 7, 2007 in Los Angeles, California. The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) continue to negotiate today, the eighth day of talks since bargaining resumed last week, in the 33-day old Hollywood writers strike. The strike closed production of most primetime series programs and all major late-night talk shows are showing re-runs except for Last Call with Carson Daly whose host crossed picket lines last week to continue taping without his writing staff.

The Writers Guild of America East is currently seeking to represent a group of about 150 writers and producers from A+E Factual Studios, the Walt Disney Co. and Hearst Communications owned studio behind shows like Dance Moms: A New Era, History’s Greatest Mysteries, and Cold Case Files.
