Strike.tv, a Web video site featuring programming created by TV and film writers during the Writers Guild of America strike earlier this year, is expected to launch this summer with original short-form content from scribes behind “The Office” and “Die Hard,” among others, the Hollywood Reporter says. The site was initially created to help out-of-work writers affected by the strike but has since become, in part, a source of funding for union charity groups; the first three months’ ad revenue has been earmarked for the Entertainment Assistance Program of the Actors Fund.
