Why It Matters
This keeps the 2023 TV/Theatrical/Streaming contract process moving, but the agreement is still preliminary until the National Board reviews it on May 11. For the streaming side of the business, the immediate next step is disclosure of the deal terms and the subsequent member ratification vote, which will determine whether the tentative agreement becomes final.
