United Kingdom
The first final this month is held by ITV tomorrow in the United Kingdom. ITV doesn't seem very interested in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. After cancelling the organisation of the 2004 Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Manchester, ITV also moved the national selection to their second channel ITV2 which isn't available for all Britons. ITV neither announced the names of the eight finalists.
