5	The company was founded in 1968 as the Children's Television Workshop (CTW). Joan Ganz Cooney, a television producer, and Lloyd Morriset, a foundation executive, thought of the idea of creating a company to produce ''Sesame Street'', a television series intended to help children get ready for school. The Children's Television Workshop was that company, and Joan Ganz Cooney was named its first executive director. The company changed to its current name in 2000.

7	While often associated with Creator/{{PBS}}, in 1999, the Workshop made a deal with MTV Networks (the owners of Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}) to launch an educational channel called Creator/{{Noggin}}. They produced many original shows for Noggin, including ''Series/OutThere'', ''Series/{{Sponk}}'' and ''Series/PlayWithMeSesame''. The Workshop sold its stake in the Noggin channel in late 2002, but it continued to produce new Noggin shows (like ''Series/TheUpsideDownShow'' in 2006). In 2005, Sesame Workshop made a deal with Creator/{{PBS}}, Creator/HITEntertainment and Creator/NBCUniversal (Comcast) to launch a 24-hour preschool channel called Creator/{{Sprout}} (now known as Creator/UniversalKids). They have produced an original show for Sprout called ''Panwapa''. Sesame Workshop divested its stake in Sprout in December 2012. More recently, the company has become associated with Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery, beginning with the move of ''Sesame Street'' to Creator/{{HBO}} in the mid-2010s; the company has subsequently begun to produce more content for Creator/HBOMax and Creator/{{Cartoonito}}.
