The Wiggles Go On Demand on BT Vision

LONDON: The BT Vision Kids channel has become the first service to offer children on-demand access to the hit show The Wiggles.

Viewers can watch, pause or rewind the show whenever they want. The series made its debut on BT Vision Kids’ on-demand service on December 2, with the show and six specials available. The deal also marks the group’s 20th birthday. The Wiggles—formed in 1991 and featuring Jeff, Anthony, Murray, Sam and their Wiggly friends Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus—perform to more than a million people a year, with a 15-city U.K. tour confirmed for 2011.

Mike Conway, the general manager of The Wiggles, said: "It’s great to be working with such an innovative and forward-thinking organization as BT Vision. We’re delighted to be a part of this wonderful platform and are looking forward to the opportunity to reach out to young children and their families on the BT Vision Kids channel."

Marc Watson, the chief executive of BT Vision, added: "We’re exceptionally happy to be partnering with The Wiggles to bring their high-quality educational entertainment to the kids’ channel on BT Vision. We are proud to be able to share some of the band’s greatest hits with the BT Vision Kids’ viewers as and when they want."
