Sesame Street moving to HBO

[Telonius]

So this (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/style-blog/wp/2015/08/13/hbo-gets-sesame-street-for-the-next-five-seasons-dont-freak-out-pbs-will-still-have-the-show-too/) is apparently going to happen. Very, very interesting news - I'm really hoping they made sure that the creative team is still as independent as it's ever been. The distribution model is particularly interesting to me, since it mirrors the science journal I work for - paid subscription gets access immediately, with open access X months later.

Penny Arcade was of a similar mind with today's strip:
