History
Federation Square in Melbourne initially offered Wiggle Time! as part of a promotion to order tickets for The Wiggles' "Wiggle Pop! Big Show" tour across Australia in 2018.[1] This event was aimed at generating excitement for the tour and provided families with a preview of the upcoming performances. The series was later picked up by Treehouse TV, where it made its official broadcast debut.
Availability
Wiggle Time! appears to be exclusive to the Canadian TV channel, Treehouse TV. No other country or channel has aired the series (outside of Canada), and there has been no YouTube, DVD, or digital release of the series, making it unique among The Wiggles' productions. This exclusivity has contributed to its relative obscurity, as fans outside Canada have had limited access to the series. Despite its exclusive airing on Treehouse TV on August 4, 2019[2] and its re-airings in 2023[3][4], Wiggle Time! remains relatively obscure due to the lack of broader distribution. Fans have expressed interest in seeing the series made available on other platforms. While it officially had another rerun in 2023, all of the episodes had been uploaded to Dailymotion sourced from a user named "Chibuike Chinedu" at an unknown date.
