The move comes days after it was announced HBO Max would remove 36 titles from its service.
It might not be as easy as it used to be.As of Friday, per the report,listed 456 total episodes of “Sesame Street,” with many of the older episodes from the earlier seasons missing. The streaming service offered about 650 “Sesame Street” episodes prior to the purge.
It is believed the purge is part of new owner Warner Bros. Discovery’s “belt-tightening moves, aimed at reducing streaming-content payment obligations.”“As we work toward bringing our content catalogs together under one platform, we will be making changes to the content offering available on both HBO Max and discovery+,” HBO Max’s statement reads. “That will include the removal of some content from both platforms.
Removing titles helps Warner Bros. Discovery cut costs by removing lesser-watched programs to save money on residuals.
