Extremely simple, unvarying, way to produce TV programme (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

sesame street

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'produce tv programme' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'extremely simple unvarying way' is the wordplay.
'extremely' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'unvarying' becomes 'same' ('same' is associated in meaning with 'unvarying').
'way' becomes 'street' (street is a kind of way**).
'simple' with its centre taken out is 'se'.
'se'+'same'+'street'='SESAME STREET'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sesame street that I've seen before include "where Elmo lives" , "TV program" .)
