TALKS BETWEEN HOLLYWOOD WRITERS, PRODUCERS COLLAPSE

December 7, 2007 - 7:33 pm
 

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Negotiations between striking Hollywood writers and studios collapsed Friday, producers said, after both sides spent the day trading accusations and barbs.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers announced that the round of talks that started Tuesday had broken down, stalling efforts to end the five-week strike that has sidelined many prime-time and late-night TV shows.

The Writers Guild of America said it had no immediate comment.
