It may still be another 10 months until the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 takes place in Moscow, Russia, but already several broadcasters are deciding how they will select their entry for next year. Belgium's selection process has now been confirmed to esctoday.com's partner website, Belgovision.com.

Belgium is the next country to reveal its plans, with French-language broadcaster RTBF confirming to partner site Belgovision.com that it will once again use an internal selection to select the Belgian contestant for Moscow.

RTBF, the French language broadcaster, and VRT, the Flemish language one, take it in turns to choose the Belgian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. While VRT usually embarks on a long-lasting Eurosong national final, RTBF prefers to choose internally, with varying levels of success – from a 2nd place for Urban Trad in Riga 2003 to a bottom 5 place in the semi final for the Krazy Mess Groovers in Helsinki 2007.

It is as yet unknown as to when RTBF will make the announcement about its selected song for 2009 or how the artists under consideration will be determined.
