Nothing's been announced yet at CBS, but some executives there are also pushing financial restraint. "All of the Fox Entertainment Group will be
looking at a variety of cost-containment initiatives, all designed to save jobs should the strike continue for months and months," says a News Corp. spokeswoman. The company has a history of cutting
costs to stave off job cuts and instituted similar measures after 9/11 to avoid them.
At ABC, while there have been no official cost-cutting directives, insiders expect they are on the way. Some workers are being encouraged not to incur overtime.
