The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) came to an agreement with the Networks late Friday night that is expected to mirror one signed in July covering television actors in prime-time shows. This agreement with the Networks covers performers in other areas of television including soap operas, game shows, sports programs, talk shows, syndicated programs, announcers, etc.
