@AoDespair Why should they pay 1 cent when Sesame Street is 100% profitable and makes big $$$. No point in funding it. -
@TimothyOoley Wrong. SS is a loss leader since it's production costs can no longer be met by DVD sales which were main funding source. -
@TimothyOoley That's why they pick up HBO to subsidize costs in exchange for first airing there and then free on PBS. -
