Has Sesame Street been gentrified?

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Sesame Street first debuted on public television in the late 1960s to educate toddlers in lower-income areas. It has moved to HBO, and viewers have noticed improvements to the neighbourhood this season. Does the move to a premium cable giant with a paywall change the programme's mission? Nick Bryant takes a walk to the Sesame Street Workshop in New York to find out. First broadcast on Today, 11 February 2016.
