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.
