Sunny day, sweepin' the clouds away, on my way to where the air is sweet ... Sound familiar? Well, yeah, it's the beginning to the theme of the iconic children's show Sesame Street. And if you want to know how to get there, most everyone might have said PBS, but now the answer will include Internet video sites, such as YouTube, Hulu and iTunes.
As Sesame Street enters its 39th season on the air, it enters the Internet age. First, if you want to go the pay route and get full episodes, you can go to iTunes, and cough up $1.99 / episode. Sesame Workshop will get 70% of the revenue from any iTunes sales, but the episodes are only from season 35 or later, because Sesame Workshop and DVD distributor Genius Products are being careful not go cannibalize off of sales of DVDs of the first 10 seasons of the show.
Meanwhile, want some freebies? YouTube has started a Sesame Street channel which currently has 116 clips from the show. And YouTube's competitor, Hulu, the joint video venture formed by NBC Universal and News Corp. has its own Sesame Street site as well, with 128 segments currently available.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street? How to get to Sesame Street? How to get to...
