#SesameStreet | The youth programming classic ‘Sesame Street’ has entered into a new five year contract with HBO which will take away the free programming on the original source of PBS for a nine month period of time. The CEO of the nonprofit Sesame Workshop is stated as saying that because of a lack of DVD sales and income, the deal with HBO provides the “critical funding it needs to be able to continue production of ‘Sesame Street’.”
