The End of the Writer’s Strike
February 13th, 2008 | Published in Google DoubleClick
As of today, members of the Writers Guild of America, which has been on strike since Nov. 5, 2007, are going back to work. The guild voted late yesterday to end the walkout after agreeing with Hollywood's producers on compensation for TV shows and movies streamed on the Web.
Previously on DoubleClick's website, we asked visitors, "What month will the writer's strike end?" Almost 150 people responded.
Here's how you replied:
January: 5.63%
February: 28.17%
March: 27.46%
April: 9.86%
May: 13.38%
June or later: 15.49%
Congratulations to the 28.17% of you that accurately predicted the future!
