Broadcast – 10 May 2016
The 61st Eurovision Song Contest is being held in Stockholm, Sweden. The two semi-finals and grand final reach a broadcast audience of over 200 million homes across Europe, Australia and Asia. For the first time, the Grand Final will be broadcast live in the USA. But there are already fans of the contest in America and we talked to one of them.
- How did an American became so fascinated with Europe’s major singing event?
- What part does politics play in an event originally devised to heal divides caused by WWII?
- Without the voting blocs to aid us, what are Australia’s chances of winning?
To answer these and other questions about Eurovision, we speak to Alesia Michelle, radio presenter, video blogger and avid Eurovision fan from Washington DC.
