This time however, SAG and AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) are officially on board, as well as the DGA (Directors Guild of America).
Owners Jeff Kwatinetz and Rich Frank released a statement today that said they signed agreements with the Screen Actors Guild, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and the DGA to make it possible to air the soaps.
