News Summary:

Sesame Workshop faces financial difficulties. The loss of a $30-35 million annual contract with Warner Bros Discovery's HBO, a partnership lasting a decade, contributes to this situation. Further challenges include cuts to USAID subsidies under the Trump administration and the administration's attacks on public media, which may lead to additional funding reductions. In response to these financial pressures, Sesame Workshop announced a significant downsizing.
