Nobody Has Our Sources.
The Tri-State area's number one source for News and Information. After a week of tense negotiations, Hollywood writers and producers cut a tentative deal Friday to avoid a strike. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and the Writers Guild of America made a joint announcement at a hastily called news conference in Los Angeles. The studios reportedly have agreed to an increase in the writers minimum pay scale and some increases in how much they get for re-runs on cable, video and DVDs. Sources tell CBS News that a real sticking point was the writers' request for more access to the sets and more respect in the credits.
