The studios went into this strike knowing full well they weren't negotiating jack poo poo. 2022 was jam-packed production-wise, more so in the last few months. Multiple episodic shows shot seasons back to back, something that's never done, just to cram in as much content as possible going into a strike.

Hopefully, the public begins to realize this turbo fucks many many working-class job positions all over basic job protection, against massive corporations that saw record profits in these last few years especially. I think public backlash is going to be the leverage because they planned and stockpiled for this scenario this time around. Not to mention that the production pipeline for most things isn't what it was in 2007 (back then the majority being write, shoot, air, write, shoot, air..with a lead time of a few episodes) so studios have more stalling power.

The AI thing is just wild...instead of acknowledging hey yeah, the output of those things loving suck and need to be fixed anyway, and nothing it does is legally copywriteable so it's a massive headache to even use it above board...they just said "we'll meet up once a year to talk about this"..what does that do? "hey guys, isn't this ai stuff neat? see you next year"

Ad sales, selling off their content for streaming and syndication.

International rights, merchandise, IP licensing (comics, games, novels, etc)

It depends on how they bought the rights to the show and how much the showrunner retains, all negotiated

As we've seen some of these showrunners don't actually own poo poo and couldn't take the property elsewhere once the studios axed them.
