Good news for the Eurovision Song Contest fans in Australia! SBS have confirmed through their viewers' hotline that they will be airing this year's contest, the same as they did with Junior Eurovision

SBS will be airing both the semi final and the final. The semi will be broadcast on Saturday 12th May at 20.30 and the final on Sunday 13th May at 19.30. Australian fans rightfully complain that the results will be known long before they get to watch the shows, but please keep in mind that at least there will be a live webcast. Also, the esctoday.com on location team will make sure that you get maximum coverage of all events before, during and after the contest with live coverage of rehearsals, shows and parties.

Thank you Glen for the submission of the information.


Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
