ERT, the Greek broadcaster, announced today that the hosts of the country's final will be the popular TV hosts Fotis Sergoulopoulos and Maria Bakodimou.

Fotis and Maria are very popular with the Greek public having hosted a number of top rating TV shows, both in the morning as well as the evening zone. They are experienced, lively, funny and they share a chemistry that seeps through to the audience. ERT sticks to the successful recipe they used last year with Yiorgos Kapoutzidis and Zeta Makrypoulia whose comedy show highlighted the Greek final.

The titles of the Greek songs have been finalised as follows:

Christos Dantis : No Madonna
Sarbel: Yassou Maria
Tamta: With love

The Greek final will take place on February 28, at the Athinon Arena, at 9.00 pm CET. It will be broadcast live by ERT and ERT Satellite. It will also be webcast live through the broadcaster's website. www.ert.gr


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.
