365 days of all-new programming… a boy can dream, right?

The Hollywood Reporter has an interesting article stating that the writers’ strike may result in a year-round TV season. The article reads:
The broadcast networks and TV studios have been trying for years to transition to year-round development, avoiding the mad rush of pilot season and to curb the skyrocketing costs of pilots.
Now the prospect of a long strike might present the biggest opportunity yet to do that. Several networks, including Fox and NBC, are said to be working on new development strategies, including forgoing pilots or reducing them to less expensive presentations as well as borrowing from the cable development model.
“One good thing that might come out of a strike … it would give us an excuse to shake things up,” Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly said in October.
Hopefully something good will come out of this.
