Eisner Says Deal Reached to End Writers' Strike, CNBC Reports
By Nancy Moran
Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Michael Eisner told CNBC that an agreement was reached Feb. 1 to end the Hollywood writers' strike.
``It's going on Saturday to the writers in general,'' the former Walt Disney Co. chief executive officer told the financial news network during its ``Fast Money'' program last night. He didn't elaborate on terms of the accord between media companies and the Writers Guild of America.
Writers for film and television walked off the job Nov. 5, after earlier negotiations broke down over pay for the use of writers' work on the Internet and on mobile devices.
