TV4, the Swedish broadcaster are planning to bid again for the opportunity to host the 2009 Junior Eurovision Song Contest as our partner site Escsweden.com exclusively reveals.

TV4 wanted to host the 2008 Junior Eurovision Song Contest at the Globen Annex in Stockholm but they lost to CyBC. Escsweden reveals that they will be trying once again for 2009. Sweden has been participating in JESC ever since it started in 2003. SVT, the public Swedish broadcaster, had the rights to broadcast the contest until 2006 when TV4 took over.

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.
