SAG-AFTRA has reached a tentative agreement with major broadcast networks and other producers concerning the National Code of Fair Practice for Network Television Broadcasting, also known as the Network Television Code. This agreement is set to be reviewed by the SAG-AFTRA National Board.
The Network Television Code accounts for over $239 million annually in member earnings. It encompasses a wide range of non-dramatic programming on both broadcast and digital media. Programs under this contract include “Good Morning America,” “The Young and the Restless,” “Beyond the Gates,” “Jeopardy,” “Saturday Night Live,” “The Voice,” “Dancing With the Stars,” “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver,” the Academy Awards, and the Super Bowl.
Further information about the tentative agreement will be disclosed after the Board’s vote at an upcoming meeting.
SAG-AFTRA represents around 160,000 professionals in various entertainment and media fields. As an affiliate of AFL-CIO, it has national offices in Los Angeles and New York, along with local offices nationwide. The organization aims to ensure strong protections for its members in the entertainment industry. More information can be found at SAGAFTRA.org.
