Oh no! ESC Today:

 

Eurovision family becomes bigger

New: The Eurovision DANCE contest!

 

Five years after the Junior Eurovision Song Contest was launched, the Eurovision family will be extented once again: The EBU created the Eurovision Dance Contest, to be held on 1st September 2007 for the first time. A kick-off production meeting took place yesterday in London at the BBC. This new international production consists of a ballroom, latin and freestyle dance competition between mixed couples.

The following EBU members have already expressed their interest:

 

ORF (Austria)

DR (Denmark)

ARD (Germany)

RTE (Ireland)

HRT (Croatia)

TVP (Poland)

RTP (Portugal)

RTR (Russia)

TVE (Spain)

TV4 (Sweden)

SRG (Switzerland)

TROS (Netherlands)

NTU (Ukraine)

BBC (United Kingdom)

 

The show will be broadcast live at 21:00 CET, hosted by the United Kingdom and organised and produced by Splash Media and Sunset+V in collaboration with Eurovision TV.

And it's all our fault! :rofl: Maybe this means that the BBC will definately make more of an effort for the ESC though too. :funky:

Bump. Austria, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and United Kingdom will be taking part in this, hosted by Graham Norton on September 1st 2007 on BBC One.
