Hit television shows could be impacted by writers' strike

If the work stoppage becomes protracted, TV networks will increasingly fill their programming lineups with unscripted reality shows, news magazines, and reruns

Hollywood writers are engaged in 11th-hour contract talks with film and television studios in an effort to avert a strike that would completely disrupt TV production.

The Writers Guild of America could call a work stoppage as early as Tuesday if it cannot reach a deal with companies such as Disney and Netflix. A strike would be the first by the WGA in 15 years.
