CBS has found a way around the writer’s strike. They just struck a deal with a Canadian company who will produce a TV show for them. Using a foreign production company and then buying the “American Distribution Rights” means they don’t have to worry about the WGA.

In another sign of how the WGA strike is reshaping network TV’s development process, CBS Paramount Network TV is planning to team with Canada’s CTV to produce at least 13 episodes of a police drama dubbed “Flashpoint.”
