Hollywood Writers, Producers Extend Talks May 2, 5:30 PM EST Hollywood writers and producers ended their contract talks with no new deal, but both sides pledged to extend negotiations even though the existing agreement has expired â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Writers Guild of America: http://www 55 profit on the sale, while writers get 5 cents, the union said Producers concede they have reaped millions of dollars from home video sales and that DVDs have become a major source of revenue "Obviously the potential of a strike underlies any of our negotiations," WGA West President Daniel Petrie Jr The last strike in 1988 delayed the start of the fall TV season The contract covering 11,000 TV and movie writers was set to expire at midnight In a recent mailing to members, the union said a typical DVD sells for $16 org The studios make a $10 They argue that on the TV side, DVD revenue is merely replacing money that had come from international markets that have dried up, syndication deals and licensing fees that had been increased after shows became hits This season, however, thanks to the success of series such as "The Apprentice," networks might be able to compensate by offering more unscripted reality shows A number of creative issues are also on the table, including rewrites org Alliance of Motion Picture and Television producers: http://www The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers met Saturday for the sixth straight day to try to resolve their differences over writers' efforts to gain a larger share of profits from the $15 billion DVD market Both sides declined to comment Saturday night Producers likely want a contract in hand to show advertisers by May 17, when the sale of time for TV commercials begins for the next season amptp wga The WGA wants to banish the "one draft deal," in which a screenwriter gets paid for a first draft and is expected to deliver numerous rewrites for free wrote Thursday in a message to members And as more cable systems go digital â€â€? adding the capacity for many more channels â€â€? Music Choice often becomes part of the mix Even the popular genres are cut into narrow stylistic slivers The 11 million satellite customers who get Music Choice are out of luck "You can't deny technology," Williams said At this point, every record company knows who we are "If we don't offer this product, someone else will "When we were in four or 10 million homes, we would run into a lot of people who didn't know we were around So Music Choice shifted to a more traditional TV business model, where cable or satellite systems pay a licensing fee to the company, and provide the channels to customers as part of basic service Today, it's available in nearly 30 million homes, more than one-quarter of the nation's 107 million homes with television Williams is a DJ, and he lives for turning people on to great new music The one thing not offered in one place is variety "Whenever we did mixed formats, the listeners would go away," Del Beccaro said In the past year alone, Music Choice added seven million new homes com/ "People want what they want when they want it," Williams said "It did well, but the model broke down very quickly," explained David Del Beccaro, the company's president There are six separate rock stations, from soft to metal The individual channels program a continuous stream of music, in formats set according to taste: rap, metal, jazz, blues, opera, gospel, show tunes, etc On screen is a graphic that identifies the song, artist and CD from which it originates Customers paid $10 a month for the music It's the same challenge that satellite radio faces today Music junkies loved it, but the service quickly hit a ceiling in terms of people willing to pay the monthly fee for something akin to radio, which they get for free Music Choice has no disc jockeys (except occasionally on the rap station), no commercials TV Channels Compete As Radio Alternative Jun 1, 12:32 PM EST NEW YORK (AP) â€â€? Forgive Damon Williams if he has a difficult time mustering enthusiasm for his company's latest product Music Choice began in 1991 as a pay service on a handful of cable systems He shouldn't worry too much That's where "My Music Choice" comes in Although Music Choice has what is essentially a Top 40 station (called "Hit List"), its strength is its depth Most of the channels aren't repetitive, and can play several songs from an album instead of just one hit " While Music Choice has been around for more than a decade, it is slowly seeping into public consciousness This summer, the company is introducing "My Music Choice," an interactive option that essentially lets listeners create their own channels tailored to their tastes â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://www The new service will allow viewers to create their own channels according to taste There's no station where an adventurous listener can hear, for example, a bluegrass song followed by a rap or jazz cut or hard rocker Musicians who stop for a visit are asked to add their autographs to the wall It sounds good, but few listeners had the patience for it "Every company is trying to develop products that make them feel like they have control As programming director for Music Choice, he's ultimately responsible for deciding which songs are played on 45 channels of satellite and digital cable "It's a huge difference," Del Beccaro said For the most part, people use it passively, as background music when they vacuum the house, have a party or read a book In other words, they can bypass Williams' work " "My parents didn't send me to school all those years for nothing," he said " So do many artists, judging by the increasingly cluttered wall at the company's Manhattan office " Williams, with 15 years in the music business, doesn't like seeing his role reduced by "My Music Choice Music Choice has begun taking in advertisers, whose messages are displayed onscreen, not in audio commercials Music Choice is also close to an agreement that will let viewers use their service, through its Web site, to buy and download music He has a dream job A listener can program 10 percent bluegrass, 20 percent rap and 50 percent metal, if they want â€â€? or any other permutation Music Choice airs the occasional concert; Fleetwood Mac and the Roots have given exclusive performances in recent months Direct TV customers get it There's one channel for popular country chart hits, another for classic country artists, another for Americana and another for bluegrass And, as yet, Music Choice only has the capability to offer it to cable customers musicchoice It's essentially radio, minus the annoyances and local flavor, flowing through the television set The service is only being test-marketed this summer in Iowa, Illinois and Pennsylvania, with no firm plan for a national rollout While that doesn't make him happy, he understands Music Choice has to be aggressive |
