LOS ANGELES In a development sure to have an impact on the nearly three-month-old writers’ strike, the Directors Guild of America has reached a tentative agreement with the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

The three-year deal offers DGA members key new-media provisions, including residual rates for ad-supported Internet media streaming and online use of clips and a new residuals formula for paid downloads.

“Of the 307 labor agreements the AMPTP has negotiated since 1982, this new DGA-AMPTP pact surely dealt with some of the most challenging issues we’ve ever faced,” said AMPTP president Nick Counter in a statement.
