Response from Sprout

Just received this response from Sprout_Network@comcast.com to my feedback on their firing of Melanie Martinez:

> We understand that you are disappointed with the recent changes to The
> Good Night Show, and we too are saddened that we had to make this
> difficult decision.  Our foremost priority is to do what is best for our
> young viewers and those who love them, and we will continue to provide
> the quality programming you and your children have come to expect from
> PBS KIDS Sprout.

Ah, so now they’re telling me that they know better than I do what’s best for my daughters. Lovely.

Update: Edited for findability.
