Looks like the Writers Guild of America strike will continue on.

On Thursday, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers broke what was a media blackout to announce they had offered striking writers a new contract that included $130 million in additional compensation, bringing the amount writers received each year over $1.4 billion.

But just as the AMPTP was patting themselves on the backs, the WGA released a statement of their own, blasting the proposal and calling it a rollback that was unacceptable.

The studios were looking to provide a fixed payment of just under $250 for each hour-long program that appeared on the Internet to writers -- a steep decline to the $20,000 a writer earns when that program is rerun on a network. On top of that, the deal was specifically for television and didn't include streaming movies online.

The studios also offered $1,300 for Web-only episodes to writers that hit 15 minutes in length that came from existing scripted programs. At the same time, however, the studios said they weren't interested in providing specific compensation packages to shows created specifically for the Internet. The studios maintain they cannot compete online if they have to pay writers through collective bargaining.

Both sides are expected to go back to the bargaining table on Tuesday, with the WGA offering proposals that would cost the studios $20 million more, but would shake up some issues that the studios do not seem to be interested in budging over.

In any event, it looks like the strike will be here for a while to come.
