HBO Max took down classic episodes of “Sesame Street” as it prepares to combine with Discovery+. The move came as a surprise to fans, who worried about what it signals.
Concerns were assuaged for a while about the future of HBO Max and its beloved content, but they've been turned to 11 again. And animation is the main target.
HBO Max has temporarily slashed prices by 30 percent as Warner Bros. Discovery removes more titles amid a larger corporate re-organization, which recently saw the elimination of dozens of jobs at the streamer.
The removal of the episodes comes just days after the platform announced it was dropping 36 other shows, including several for kids, from its streaming site.
