Despite withdrawing from the 2007 competition earlier this month, Monégasque broadcaster TMC have announced that they will show both the semi final and the final of the Eurovision Song Contest next year live on television.
Many Eurovision fans were disappointed to hear the news that Monaco wouldn't take part in 2007, even though their eventual withdrawal hasn't changed the fact that 2007 will be the largest contest yet, with 42 countries participating.
Austria withdrew from the 2006 competition, but showed the contest live and returned for 2007, meaning that it's possible that Monaco could do a similar thing and return in 2008, wherever that may be held!
Monaco returned to the competition in 2004, 25 years after their last participation. However, they failed to make it out of the bottom 5 of the semi with any one of their 3 entries in the past 3 years.
