HBO will be the first to stream new episodes of the next five seasons of Sesame Street, under the terms of a deal announced Thursday. PBS will continue broadcasting the show as well, with a nine-month delay. The agreement, which also stipulates that Sesame Street will double the number of episodes it puts out, comes a day after reports that show episodes will be cut down to 30 minutes.
