On April 26, 2022, in New York City, Tinky-Winky, Laa-Laa, Dipsy, and Po came together for a special photo to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Teletubbies. The iconic Empire State Building was lit up in celebration of this milestone event. The image was captured by John Lamparski from Getty Images Entertainment.
The names Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po have been synonymous with the beloved children’s show “The Teletubbies” for almost three decades. While the episodes remain unchanged, the show’s significance in American media has evolved with the rise of streaming platforms.
Dean Koocher, a television expert who has been instrumental in bringing international kids’ shows to the Americas, reflected on the changing landscape of children’s television. He noted that in the past, there were fewer barriers to entry, with PBS, Disney, and Nickelodeon dominating the market. However, the emergence of streaming has transformed the way children consume content, making it a vital component of subscriber growth in the industry.
