Yeah, the network programming is safe through the end of this season, which is coming up soon. I'm guessing most cable programming that is scheduled to start in April - and there are a few series I'm looking forward to - is safely in the can. If they walk it will result in network programs starting later than usual in the fall/spring. Cable and streaming programming will likely take longer to be impacted depending on when each series was actually shot since they don't adhere to the same network shooting schedule, and often whole seasons are sitting on a shelf ready to air or be uploaded. And, of course, whatever impact a strike has will be a boon to the reality programmers.

I'm guessing the timing is not random, despite the lack of effect on the current season, as a strike now would most likely murder the pilots season in the cradle. Some pilots will have been made by this point in the year, but others aren't even picked up yet, let alone ordered to series.
And it would certainly delay the fall season for any current series that have been renewed.

WGA strike averted.Lots of articles popping up, just grabbed one of them. So, no much-needed breathing room for Supernatural. On the plus side, we won't lose the late night comedy pundits that are sorely needed in this turbulent time.

Yeah, SG and I were watching that last night. I went to bed before they made a final decision.
