ABC Australia bags all rights for Sesame Street

A longtime favourite of children and adults, “Sesame Street” bridges many cultural and educational gaps with a fun program. Big Bird leads a cast of characters teaching children numbers, colours and the alphabet.

ABC Commercial has renewed its agreement with Sesame Workshop that covers the home-entertainment rights to Sesame Street specials in Australia and New Zealand.

The terms of the four-year pact allow ABC Commercial to hold the DVD, digital and SVOD rights to all Sesame Street specials through the end of 2019. ABC Music, meanwhile, can release any music from the show on physical and digital platforms.
