San Marino RTV has announced that they will be broadcasting all three Eurovision Song Contest events, both semi finals on 20 and 22 May and naturally the final. As the Sammarinese channel covers a part of Italy as well, Italians in the areas will have the opportunity to watch the contest for the first time in years.

In their debut year, San Marino RTV will be broadcasting both Eurovision Song Contest semi finals. This means that also Italians residing in Emilia Romagna and parts of Marche and Veneto regions, areas covered by San Marino RTV will be able to watch all three Eurovision events live.

San Marino will debut in the contest in the first semi-final, on 20th May 2008. An internal jury will choose the song.

A very special thank you to Ranma Saotome for the sumbission 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.
