I was talking to a single mom friend of mine and she was upset about “losing big bird”. I said so if its such an important show don’t you think they could sell airtime to advertisers like the other 3 dozen kids shows out there? We are talking about the most popular kids show of all time that also has its own line of merchandise. Can’t convince me they would go bust were it not for fed handouts.
Sesame gets about 6% of its funds from the FedGov, I doubt they actually need it
