The Impact of the Writers Strike on Fall TV Schedules.
CBS and NBC have announced fall schedules with scripted shows, while ABC has opted for a lineup of competition and game shows, news, and sports programming due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. CBS has not made any real concessions to the strike, but a teardown of its fall schedule is inevitable if the strike continues. NBC will try something in between, with several shows already having filmed some or all of their seasons. Fox will have new episodes of its animated comedies available, while The CW has several acquisitions and unscripted shows in its lineup.
