A switch in actor union representation on broadcast TV from SAG to AFTRA is shifting into high gear in light of the protracted contract negotiations between SAG and AMPTP and the threatened SAG strike.
To protect their pilots, which would be affected by a SAG walkout, the major TV studios are looking to do many or all of them under AFTRA.
“With all the uncertainty surrounding the stalled negotiations with SAG, 20th TV is considering shooting its spring pilots under the AFTRA agreement,” the studio said Tuesday.
20th already produced two of its midseason pilots, the Fox comedy Boldly Going Nowhere and ABC half-hour Better Off Ted, with AFTRA.
