SAG, AFTRA reach commercials contract


April 01, 2009 SAG and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said early Wednesday that they have reached a tentative new three-year commercials contract. In a statement, they said the AFTRA/SAG Joint Negotiating Committee has reached a unanimous tentative agreement with the Joint Policy Committee of the American Association of Advertising Agencies and the Association of National Advertisers for successor deals to the AFTRA Television and Radio Commercials Contracts and the SAG Television Commercials Contract. The agreement came after the talks at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in midtown Manhattan went into overtime after the old contract expired at midnight Tuesday.
