For three decades, The Wiggles have toured the world delighting millions of fans. They were formed in 1991 when founder, Anthony Field, had the idea to make a children's album. The original Wiggles line-up was Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Greg Page (both of whom Anthony met at university), Jeff Fatt (a fellow musician from The Cockroaches) and classical music composer Phillip Wilcher. A few years later, Sam Moran started "Wiggling" and the band kept rocking! In 2013 a whole new sound came along with a new and current line-up including Anthony Field (The Blue Wiggle), Emma Watkins (The Yellow Wiggle), Lachy Gillespie (The Purple Wiggle), and Simon Pryce (The Red Wiggle). Completing the Wiggles family are The Wiggly Friends: Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus, Wags the Dog and Shirley Shawn the Unicorn.
The Wiggles TV programs have previously been available on the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, HIT and several other international networks, but never before has there been a fully dedicated Wiggles TV Channel. With thousands of hours of original content that have delighted young children and parents for decades, The Wiggles Channel will feature quality, educational, entertaining content that Loop Media believes will appeal to audiences across the globe.
"I've had the pleasure of knowing The Original Wiggles since the 1990's when I worked at Disney and helped bring them across Asia and to the US market," said Jon Niermann, CEO and Co-Founder of Loop Media. "Having the opportunity to launch their first branded channel with Loop Media is a reunion that we are very excited about. My kids and so many others have been entertained and influenced in such a positive way by their music as they grew up; we can't wait to make their amazing library of content readily available for new and old fans alike."
Along with their unique blend of wonderful songs, engaging live performances, and consistent and prolific creativity, The Wiggles have made a resounding mark on the global stage. In a 30-year musical adventure that has taken them around the world, they have harnessed that energy to educate and help children better understand the world they live in. The band, the songs, and even the experiences have changed along the way, but the focus never has: children are their inspiration, education their goal and music is their way.
"To mark our 30th year with the launch of our first Wiggles TV channel is something we are thrilled about," said Anthony Field, Wiggles Founder & Blue Wiggle. "We have generations of fans that now get a chance to see their favorite Original Wiggles videos. Working with Jon again and his team at Loop Media to make this happen is a terrific moment for us to get the world ready to Wiggle!"
