The head of the American Federation of Television and Radio artists sees little hope of a merger with the Screen Actors Guild before the next round of contract talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers in 2011. In an interview with today's (Monday) New York Times, AFTRA President Roberta Reardon noted that SAG has new board elections set for next fall, which could change the complexion of its board. Reardon says that although she, too, will be up for reelection, she is so far running unopposed.
