As you know, Remi Kübar and André Bandera cover the Eurovision Song Contest rehearsals and press conferences almost live from Tallinn. But do you have any idea where the website is actually being made and being hosted ? Well, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Chief Editor Sietse Bakker and Technical Chief Danny Mekic' spent almost all their timeto ESCTODAY now. Danny takes care of the server and prevents the website from overloaded traffic, and optimizes the website for optimal usage. Sietse prepares pictures before they appear online, searches the web for news and is constantly in contact with the Press Center.
The huge interest for the contest from the press also reached us. The Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, Belgian Radio 4FM, the Estonian newspaper Postimees and the German television network ARD already showed their interest in ESCTODAY.
Here you see the latest pictures from behind the scenes of ESCTODAY.
