Watching the TV Trades

Denis McGrath comments on John Doyle's question, "Where are the cultural warriors?" Good question, in fact, and Denis points up some facts about some of the things distracting a good number of them. Also good to know that Videotron's backing off of their anti-CTF stance somewhat. I hope to see Shaw backing down as well.

Various bystanders caught in the crossfire between ACTRA and CFTPA are making it known that they can't tolerate a crossfire much longer. Can't say that I blame them for their complaints anymore than I blame ACTRA for theirs.

Sudden update! Looks like the ACTRA strike's over and done! More as it comes in, and thanks to heywriterboyrss for the clue-drop!

More on comic books in a bit...

Don't get me wrong. A lot of us like the idea of runaway productions for a number of different reasons....
