Swedish broadcaster TV4 has announced that they will be moving the Junior Eurovision Song Contest national final from the originally scheduled 8th September one week earlier to Friday August 31st.

As our partner site Escsweden.com exclusively reports TV4 will be moving the Swedish JESC national final one week earlier due to the fact that they will be broadcasting the first Eurovision Dance Contest the next day and they wish to make it a special Eurovision weekend.

The names of the eight young artists that will compete for Rotterdam will be announced in the following months.


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.
