Writers In Harmony With Grammys

WGA Reaches Interim Accord For 50th Annual Music Industry Ceremony

By Mike Reynolds -- Multichannel News, 1/28/2008 1:57:00 PM

The Grammy Awards are a go as far as the Writers Guild of America is concerned.

After the WGA said last week that its membership would not picket the 50th annual music industry show, scheduled for Feb. 10 at Los Angeles’ Staples Center, the guild has reached an interim agreement for the ceremony.

“Professional musicians face many of the same issues that we do concerning fair compensation for the use of their work in new media," WGAW president Patric Verone said in a statement Monday. “In the interest of advancing our goal of achieving a fair contract, the WGAW board felt that this decision should be made on behalf our brothers and sisters in the American Federations of Musicians and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.”

The WGA has been on strike since Nov. 5, 2007.

CBS will televise the ceremony at 8 p.m. (ET)
