5 percent salary hike and requires members of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to increase contributions to the actors' health plans by a half percent Previously, SAG and AFTRA negotiated separately and often signed contracts with different levels of benefits, then competed against each other for who would represent actors on particular television shows The pact also extends union coverage to performers who appear on programs shot using digital cameras on the UPN and WB networks "Most importantly, this extension locks down the right for SAG and AFTRA to negotiate all primetime dramatic programming together, giving the unions unprecedented leverage that we have not had since the advent of television," SAG President Melissa Gilbert said in a statement If approved it would expire June 30, 2005 The extension was agreed to in order to avoid the kind of work slowdown that happened several years ago when negotiations went on past the contract expiration The most important gain is the right for both actors unions to negotiate jointly on all terms and conditions for primetime dramatic television production Talks will begin in the fall on a new three-year agreement Actors' Unions Approve Contract Extension Feb 18, 5:53 PM EST The two unions representing big screen and television actors have agreed to a one-year extension of their current contract with studios in a deal that would give actors raises and unions the right to jointly bargain The backlog of movies and TV shows already filmed caused a subsequent months-long work slowdown It still requires ratification by members of both unions Then, studios rushed productions in anticipation of a strike, which never came The Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists agreed to extend the labor pact that was set to expire June 30 The agreement gives actors a 2 "If you're a golfer, who I'm sure likes to go outside and hit golf balls, you'll still go inside and watch the Golf Channel," Hirschhorn said " It probably was inevitable that games would become the focus of a 24-hour cable channel G4 programs rely on graphics from actual games and commentary by hosts who are mostly experienced gamers "The key for these networks usually is developing a signature program," said Larry Gerbrandt, chief content officer at Kagan World Media There were 308 cable channels at the end of 2002; 21 new choices, including the Tennis Channel and a channel devoted to high-definition programming, were added between 2001 and 2002 "Gamers are the most educated media consumers out there," said Victor Lucas, the 35-year-old co-host of G4's game review show, "Judgment Day One show, "Cinematech," features clips of the slick mini-movies that come in high-end games as introductions or interludes between game levels While it has attracted some national advertising accounts, including Honda and Butterfinger in addition to video game commercials, G4's challenge will be to build its cable presence to 30 million homes â€â€? the minimum level needed to hook many major advertisers " Charles Hirschhorn, an ex-Disney executive who founded the network, wasn't afraid that gamers would rather handle a joystick than a remote control However, with its limited resources, G4 is not as high-tech as many of the games it features com Known as G4, the channel relies on a series of edgy, low-budget shows that mix a flip attitude with glimpses of state-of-the-art game graphics Now the TV has something else to show them: a fast-growing, 24-hour cable channel brimming with video game news, reviews and profiles of the rock stars of their world: game creators " "TV is the perfect medium to reach players and to tell them what is coming up and to create a forum as well And Gallay wants less emphasis on male gamers Several titles have migrated from the small screen to the big, inspiring such movies as "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" and "Final Fantasy Executives at the nation's largest cable company are banking on the booming popularity of video gaming, which boasts game sales of $10 billion a year and has spawned several magazines Another called "G4tv," one of the channel's most popular offerings, is staged on a sparse set with three hosts seated in front of computers, responding to questions and comments posed online It targets males between ages 12 and 34 â€â€? a demographic coveted by advertisers of cars, clothes and, of course, video games Both features provide viewers with an alternative to the relative isolation of playing most games "But I'm glad it's there Philadelphia-base d Comcast has budgeted $150 million over five years to get G4 to profitability "That's really what puts you on the map, and then you build from that For G4 to be a true success, it must develop a hit show that will convince other cable networks, and especially satellite TV systems, to carry it G4 is the first channel launched from scratch by cable giant Comcast Corp " G4 offers a daily news show called "Pulse," a review segment and even a show detailing the tricks programmed into games â€â€? known as "cheats" â€â€? that let players do things like extend their virtual lives or make bobbleheads of players in a basketball video game g4tv "I think it has a way to go," she said Comcast hopes G4 will building interest in online gaming, which in turn could stimulate demand for high-speed cable modem service Video Game Channel Hopes to Grow Stronger Jun 12, 2:01 PM EST For years, video game players have hunched in front of flickering television sets, blasting asteroids, piloting starships and stealing cars Gamers have indeed warmed to the channel, but some would like to see fewer reruns After a year on the air, the channel is available to 11 million people on cable systems around the country â€â€? far exceeding its first-year goal of 6 million Profits from that source could far outweigh G4's advertising revenue, said Matthew Harrigan, an analyst at Janco Partners , which believes it fills a hot niche and can deliver profits within five years "If you're a cook, you'll still watch the food channel "Gaming is becoming mainstream, but you're not bumping into gamers wherever you go yet," said Heather Gallay, 26, of Boston, who posts messages on the G4 site using the handle "ImAGamerGirlie The channel has an online component where viewers can chat live and post messages on a bulletin board "</p > "When you watch G4, it's like entering a community on television," she said There's also a live show whose hosts respond to comments and questions from the Web " With the rise of digital cable, which will make the once-prophesized 500-channel universe a reality, there's lots of room on the dial for more channels " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
