Sesame Street Moving to HBO
Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? Well, first you should change the channel to HBO.
Sesame Workshop and HBO announced a new partnership today that will bring Sesame Street to HBO, HBO Go, HBO on Demand and HBO NOW. The deal runs through the next five seasons of Sesame Street. The press release notes that this will allow Sesame Street to produce “almost twice as much new content as previous seasons.” PBS will continue to air Sesame Street, with the new episodes available there nine months after they debut on HBO. Episodes of Sesame Street will also continue to be made available as part of the PBS KIDS service on PBS member stations.
“Our new partnership with HBO represents a true winning public-private partnership model,” said Sesame Workshop CEO Jeffrey D. Dunn, in a statement. “It provides Sesame Workshop with the critical funding it needs to be able to continue production of Sesame Street and secure its nonprofit mission of helping kids grow smarter, stronger and kinder; it gives HBO exclusive pay cable and SVOD access to the nation’s most important and historic educational programming; and it allows Sesame Street to continue to air on PBS and reach all children, as it has for the past 45 years.”
