Video: Verrone on the Deal and New Media

Liz Gannes from NewTeeVee posts her interview with Patrick Verrone.

Verrone says that while the legacy of '88 strike was that studios and networks learned how to make shows without writers, the legacy of this strike may be that "writers learn how to do content without the studios and networks."

As to the Media Honchos claims (Zucker, Moonves) that the strike has taught them how to run a leaner business, Verrone says, "not likely."

  1. Patric Verrone very generously sat down with me post-strike- pre-contract-vote and gave me an in-depth 50 minute interview which I podcasted.

These comments are moderated, just like they are on Deadline Hollywood and Ain't it Cool News and... well, just about every other Internet site out there. This is a place for discussion and debate, which means that gratuitous jack-assery and rudeness -- to either side -- don't belong here. If you're not comfortable with this, feel free to go to the AMPTP's site and post your comments there (we're sure they'll start allowing comments any day now.) Rational debate and discussion from any perspective is welcome, and will never be deleted. However, insults from either side will not be tolerated. Unless they're hilarious.
