While Sesame Street’s move to Netflix is a major win for the iconic show, this solution is unique — it doesn’t address the broader crisis facing public broadcasting.
Many other PBS programs are still at risk of going off the air, following the Trump administration’s executive order to cut federal funding. This has already led to the loss of crucial grants like Ready to Learn. Without similar lifelines, countless educational children’s shows and resources that rely on public funding could face interruptions, delays, or cancellation — leaving families who depend on free, high-quality programming without vital support.
