What were the circumstances under which the Children's Television Network (CTW) was created. How did the landscape of children's television in the late 60s influence the design of Sesame Street? Specifically, who was the focus of this new program and how did they differ from that of earlier children's shows? Likewise, what was the immediate impact of Sesame Street's debut? How did it alter subsequent programs and how does it continue to influence television today, here and around the world?
