"Max said the decision was part of a broader corporate shift away from children's programming. The 55th season of Sesame Street featuring Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster and other colorful Muppets will be the last to arrive on Max, in January."
"Under the agreement, the episodes were later broadcast for free on PBS, which has aired Sesame Street since 1970. The deal provided a significant cash infusion for Sesame Workshop, which expanded its production schedule to 35 episodes a year from 18."
"We will continue to invest in our best-in-class programming and look forward to announcing our new distribution plans in the coming months, a spokesman for Sesame Workshop said in a statement."
"HBO is holding hostage underprivileged families from having access to timely first-run episodes of perhaps the single most educational children's franchise in the history of electronics."
