WGA Rejects FYC Money from Struck Companies at Emmys

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has suspended all Emmy FYC advertising on its website and email communications, even for ads that have already been paid for, as part of its ongoing strike against several companies. The WGA is offering companies a full refund or credit for future FYCs. Some companies are reallocating their funds for FYC promotion elsewhere. The WGA is striking to secure better compensation, minimum television writing staff sizes, and a minimum number of weeks of employment for their writers. Negotiations between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have been ongoing since March 20.
