From Rob Witham Copy Blog: Writers Strike Over, So When Does Your Favorite Show Return?

Click here for my blog discussion on the end of the WGA strike, with a link to an article talking about the future of many shows.

Some will be back as soon as March or April; others may never return.

It'll be interesting to look back in February, 2010 and see what the long-term effects of the strike REALLY were. I think network TV hasn't just shot itself in the foot, it's blown a leg off.

Now you can watch a web exclusive show on a site like MySpaceTV, then surf over to CBS.com and watch the new episode of CSI whenever you want. And this will hurt LOCAL TV advertisers big time. CBS may be able to throw in a few of their spots into the webcast, but your local affiliate cannot.

One behavorial change can spark a behavorial revolution. One wonders if that's taken place in the past 100 days. Time will tell.
