I'm going to preface this post by saying, please leave the politics of the situation out.
Recently, there has been much talk of pulling funding from public broadcasting. Well, Sesame Street is one of the products of public broadcasting. I understand Seaworld owns Sesame Place and has incorporated the Sesame Street brand into just about all of their parks.
My question is, to what extent does Seaworld Parks help to fund Sesame Street? Did they just purchase some licensing rights and that helps to fund some of Sesame Street? Or, do they contribute some part of the Sesame Place proceeds to the show?
I've just been curious, since they've talked about removing funding, where some other sources of funding for such a large brand as Sesame Street come from.
I know Seaworld has the wildlife conservation fund. I would surmise that some Sesame Place proceeds go towards providing funding for some educational television shows.
