Sesame Street no longer on HBO Family starting 11/1

[ssetta]

For the past 5 years, since its launch on HBO, the subchannel HBO Family has aired Sesame Street every morning twice. On November 1, that will come to an end. So I'm guessing that all of the episodes that are currently on the regular HBO will move to HBO Max.

What’s going in its place?

 

[ssetta]

Just the same old cheesy shows that have been on HBO Family for years.

 

[MikaelaMuppet]

Thank you. I figured a new show would go in its place though.

Oddly enough The Electric Company and Pinky Dinky Doo will still be on the channel.

Those shows are also on Max, but I guess they don’t care.

I wonder if "The Electric Company" from the 1970s will ever see the light of day on HBO Max?

"The Electric Company" is probably still on HBO Family because that series may be on a separate contract which apparently has not expired yet.

"Sesame Street" may be gone from HBO Family, but it is not gone from television forever. There are still the PBS airings, and the the newer episodes will later air on PBS nine months afterwards.

Will Sesame still go over to PBS in however many months it usually takes?

 

[Oscarfan]

That's still part of the deal, yes.

So I'm guessing that starting Sunday, all the episodes that are currently on HBO will move over to HBO Max and all be part of one package.
