Day 52: WGA's Strike, TV4U.com Adds More Classic TV

Yeah our writers' strike counter has returned after 5 days off. We are on day 52 of the strike and in the eighth week of the strike now. If you all recall, David Letterman's production company Worldwide Pants was set to meet with the WGA on Friday to negotiate an independent deal so that both his late night show on CBS and Craig Ferguson's late night CBS show could return with writers. No deal was made yet, but it seems both shows could be back on the air next Wednesday (Jan. 2) with or without writers. No new date has been set for the WGA and Worldwide Pants to resume talks. The WGA released this statement:
"Representatives from Worldwide Pants and the Writers Guild of America, West and the Writers Guild of America, East met today. A lively exchange of information took place. The WGAW and WGAE will not comment further."

TV4U.Com, the 42 channel free internet TV broadband network, is now offering 2,000 classic TV shows from the past 60 years. Recent additions of Stoney Burke, Assignment Underwater, Your Hit Parade, Jimmy Durante Show, Paul Winchell Show, and The Alan Young Show have helped to reach this milestone.
TV4U.Com offers 42 channels of free internet TV in categories such as comedy, drama, variety, westerns, sports, and action. The Henderson, Nevada based company owns a library of more than 10,000 classic TV shows.
TV4U.Com presents TV shows from the first 60 years of commercial television, from the Dumont Network of the 1940's to programming produced today. Shows are ad supported and can be watched free - and on demand - by viewers.
Other new shows recently added to TV4U.Com includes Joe Pyne, Who Do You Trust?, Meet Corliss Archer, Our Miss Brooks, Life of Riley, Lights Out!, Captain David Grrief, and The Morey Amsterdam Show. Many of these shows have not been seen on TV for decades.
In 2008, TV4U.Com plans to add an additional 3,000 shows, which would bring the fledgling broadband network to 5,000 offerings for TV viewers.
