Writers Strike Disrupts Upfronts, Media Giants Forced to Adapt.

Warner Bros. Discovery has asked talent not to appear in-person at their upfronts presentation due to the ongoing writers strike and to avoid crossing the Writers Guild of America's picket line. The event will still cover all parts of the company's business operations, but only executives will attend in person. The strike began on May 2 when the WGA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers failed to ink a new contract. The WBD upfront presentation will take place on Wednesday at The Theater @ Madison Square Garden.
