Polish broadcaster TVP has decided to broadcast only the first semi final of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest on 20th May. The decision was made despite an OGAE Poland request to the president of TVP.
This year, the national TV channels only have to broadcast the semi final they are taking part in or have voting right in. It is not the first time Poland takes such a step: in 2004, it was one of only three countries not to broadcast and not to vote in the semi final, which was also not obligatory back then.
On 20th May, Poland will be represented by Isis Gee with her own composition For life. She was drawn at number 10 in the running order.
