HBO Takes On Netflix With A New Kids Section Featuring “Sesame Street” And More

HBO’s quest to more directly compete with streaming service rivals like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu is kicking off this week, with the company’s launch of a new “Kids” section in its mobile application and the rollout of new children’s programming on its TV network. At launch, the Kids section will feature popular kids shows like “Sesame Street,” “The Electric Company,” and “Pinky Dinky Doo” – titles HBO scored access to as part of a wide-ranging deal with Sesame Workshop, announced last year.
