Los Angeles has experienced a significant decline in reality TV production, contributing to a 12.4% drop in overall on-location filming days in the second quarter. This decline, which includes a 56.9% drop in reality TV production, is attributed to the ongoing recovery from last year's dual labor strikes and concerns over potential new strikes by IATSE or Teamsters. In a positive development, IATSE members have ratified a new three-year deal with major studios, with 85.9% voting in favor of the Hollywood Basic Agreement and 87.2% supporting the Area Standards Agreement. This ratification aims to stabilize the industry and address concerns over AI's impact on jobs.
