"The Wiggles are the legendary rock stars of the kids' world. With over 20 years in the business, they have the creativity and expertise to do some amazing radio for kids and families; we are looking forward to turning them loose on SiriusXM," said Kenny Curtis, Senior Director of Kids and Entertainment Programming, SiriusXM.

"We're quite excited to have our own show on SiriusXM," says founder and Blue Wiggle Anthony Field. "It's been so much fun recording the fresh material and we can't wait for our fans to hear it. Kids Place Live listeners will be happy to know that they will get a mix of their favorite Wiggles songs as well as stories and adventures they have never heard before... with plenty of surprises along the way!"

Founded in Australia, The Wiggles are the world's #1 preschool entertainers.
