Spanish broadcaster TVE is preparing in-depth coverage of this year's entries and D'nash's Helsinki adventure in special preview and post-contest shows covering the contest this year.

Paula Vazquéz, presenter of Spain's 2007 selection programme Misión Eurovisión, will be reunited with 2007 hopefuls Mirela, Nazaret, Yanira Figueroa and Merche Llobera to present the show. As well as looking at D'nash's fellow competitors, the programme will hook up with the Eurovision city, as last year, to follow the Spanish boyband's progress in the lead-up to the big day.

TVE is still finalising details for the programme, but information regarding scheduling should be available from the broadcaster soon.
