Four CEOs returned to the negotiating table Thursday amid hopeful signs that the WGA and the studios are moving toward a deal to end the strike.
The CEOs who attended the session in Sherman Oaks were, once again, Bob Iger of Disney, David Zaslav of Warner Bros. Discovery, Donna Langley of NBCUniversal, and Ted Sarandos of Netflix.
The WGA has proposed a viewership-based residual that would increase a set amount for every 2.5 million views, where a “view” would be counted as any time someone watched at least half the program. The two sides also spent a portion of Wednesday’s session discussing artificial intelligence. The AMPTP has previously said that the sides were close to an agreement that would allow writers to use AI without impacting their pay or credit. The key sticking point has been the WGA’s demand that AI systems not be allowed to train on writers’ scripts.
