It's the Bryan Lair Show on WNVC. Good morning again, everyone. Well, after a month's

long strike, the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio

Artists, also known as SAG After, for short, was told by the studios that all negotiations

are off the table. Maybe haven't heard this with all the other news going on, but the
