In 1966 Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett began researching a television show to help children, especially those from low-income families, prepare for school. Sesame Street premiered in 1969. Conney credited &#8220;educational advisers, researchers, and television producers &#8230; as equal partners&#8221; in the show&#8217;s success. The early 1980s were a challenging period for the Workshop; the end of government funding, difficulty in finding audiences for their other productions, and a series of bad investments hurt the organization until 1985, when licensing agreements had stabilized revenues. The organization expanded into other areas, including books and music, international co-productions, outreach programs to preschools, and interactive media and new technologies. By 2005, income from international co-productions of the show was $96 million, and by 2008, the Sesame Street Muppets accounted for $15\u201317 million per year in licensing and merchandising fees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Wikipedia article of the day for May 20, 2016 is Sesame Workshop.
