Question regarding the WGA strike

Is PBS TV covered by that strike?  Getting tired of reruns in frigging December, for gossakes...

Wouldn't think there'd be much call for writers on "Antiques Road Show", just choosing a random rerun from the schedule...

No, but a lot of the technical/craft unions are honoring the writers' picket lines, and some production companies have opted to shut down production rather than deal with that.

That probably explains it. Although a lot of the (grumpgrump) reruns on PBS represent a programing choice, like "All Creatures Great And Small" and the old Agatha Christie mysteries.

Well, if you can't give 'em new stuff, at least give 'em the *good* old stuff! (Although if my PBS station did that, I'd hope for Upstairs, Downstairs" and "I, Claudius" ...)

Or at least "Doctor Who"...
