Sprout, the 24/7 preschool service owned in part by Comcast, inks a carriage deal with Charter Communications. Under the agreement Sprout is available now On Demand for customers with Charter TV in Digital.
Additionally, Charter will make Sprout's 24-hour digital cable channel available to its subscribers on a market-by-market basis through the end of this year.
Sprout's On Demand lineup offers 65-hours of programming monthly, including 15-hours of Spanish-language programming, such as Sesame Street, Bob the Builder, Barney & Friends and The Wiggles. Sprout is a joint venture between Comcast Corporation, HIT Entertainment, PBS and Sesame Workshop.
Charter announced it is adding PBS' pre-school programming service Sprout as an On Demand offering across its entire footprint. The MSO also plans to add the linear digital channel on a market-by-market basis by the end of 2010.

While Five looks for a new owner, Wilson says he plans to further develop the Milkshake! brand online in the meantime
