Biz watches AFTRA-studio cliffhanger


May 27, 2008 The industry was left in a holding pattern Tuesday, waiting for word about whether AFTRA had inked a deal on its primetime TV contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers. The contract expires June 30, and Tuesday marked the last day of talks for AFTRA and the producers, with SAG waiting in the wings to restart its negotiations today. Under a news blackout, little information about the talks has come out during the past 16 days other than two updates sent by AFTRA president Roberta Reardon to members and a "basic facts" message posted on the AMPTP's Web site.
