Daytime Shows Return to Air Despite Hollywood Strike, Dividing Viewers
As the Hollywood strike enters its third week, some daytime shows are beginning to return to the air despite pickets from striking workers. On Monday, September 18, “The Drew Barrymore Show” will begin airing fresh episodes, although the show’s host has been criticized by some for crossing the picket line.
Other daytime shows that have returned to the air during the strike include “The View,” “The Talk,” and “Live with Kelly and Ryan.” These shows have all used non-union crews and producers to keep them on the air.
The return of daytime shows to the air is a sign that the Hollywood strike is entering a new phase. The strike, which began on August 1, has brought production of many movies and TV shows to a halt. However, some producers are now finding ways to keep their shows on the air, even without the participation of union workers.
The strike is being waged by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), which represents a wide range of workers in the entertainment industry. IATSE members are demanding better pay and working conditions, including longer breaks and more meal allowances.
The Hollywood strike is having a significant impact on the entertainment industry, and it is unclear how long it will last. However, the return of some daytime shows to the air is a sign that the strike may be entering a new phase.
What does this mean for viewers?
Viewers of daytime shows may be wondering what the Hollywood strike means for their favorite shows. Some shows, such as “The Drew Barrymore Show,” have been able to return to the air despite the strike. However, other shows, such as “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” have been forced to shut down production.
It is unclear how long the Hollywood strike will last, and it is possible that some daytime shows may be off the air for several months. However, viewers can stay up-to-date on the latest developments by following the IATSE website and social media accounts.
What can viewers do to support the strike?
Viewers who want to support the Hollywood strike can do so in a number of ways. One way is to contact the producers of their favorite shows and let them know that they support the striking workers. Viewers can also donate to the IATSE Strike Relief Fund, which is providing financial assistance to striking workers.
In addition, viewers can boycott shows that are being produced without the participation of union workers. This includes shows such as “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “The View,” and “The Talk.”
The Hollywood strike is a complex issue, and there are no easy answers. However, viewers can play a role in supporting the striking workers and their demands for better pay and working conditions.
