Daily Variety, October 24, 1988 -    "…new markets were characterized as ‘supplemental’ – on the theory that …the new markets would create new sources of income –gravy spilling over an already full dinner plate.
     During the labor negotiations on the subject in the 1970s, the producers expressly reserved the right to take the future position that secondary, ‘supplemental’ markets have, in fact, taken the form of primary markets.
     Today, because of market cannibalizations, the producers believe more strongly than ever that labor must treat the new secondary markets as adjuncts to the primary markets—not as supplemental markets."

Daily Variety, May 21, 2007 -- "We are committed to making a deal -- one that is fair to both sides... one that is realistic, reasonable and respects our contributions and our business needs as well as theirs." And Counter, who heads the industry's negotiating team, signaled that companies will push hard for revamping the entire residuals structure -- with payments coming only when shows break into the black. "We have been paying residuals on losses for far too long. It is time to re-examine the entire economic landscape... new media as well as traditional media," he added.
