Hollywood writers go on strike over streaming pay, halting production of late-night talk shows and daytime soaps with some films at risk.

The Writers Guild of America said that its 11,500 members will head to the picket lines on Tuesday.

Netflix, which makes shows around the world, has said it can feed its service with shows produced outside the US but its US-based series will be affected if a strike drags on. Half of TV series writers now work at minimum salary levels, compared with one-third in the 2013-14 season, according to Guild statistics.The board of directors for the WGA, which includes both a West and an East branch, voted unanimously to call for a strike, effective at the stroke of midnight. Writers, they said, are facing an "existential crisis".

The AMPTP said it presented an offer with "generous increases in compensation for writers as well as improvements in streaming residuals".
