BT has entered into an agreement with popular children’s entertainers, The Wiggles, to bring their educational entertainment show to BT Vision Kids.
Available from December 2, the BT Vision Kids channel will feature The Wiggles television show on demand and six specials. BT Vision is the only service where children will have on demand access to The Wiggles through their TV.
