Nigel Parsons, It's still officially pronounced Zed in Canada too, but as you mentioned, Sesame Street has converted a number of younger folks (by younger, I guess I mean under 50). Being an old fart, I find myself talking about Zed Zed Top. I would guess that the Zee pronunciation was adopted in order to make it rhyme.
