ITV withdraws support for the Junior ESC.
... according to esctoday -
ITV, the British commercial broadcaster who would organise the second edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Manchester suddenly abandoned all plans. The reason why is unknown yet.
A new host country will thus have to be chosen. The European Broadcasting Union has not yet made a decision. Croatia, the winner of the 2003 Junior Eurovision Sog Contest could be the substitute host but all possibilities are still open.
Aline Ingwersen, press representative of the EBU, said to esctoday.com: "We are currently discussing the matter concerning the Junior Eurovision Song Contest this year, but no decision has been made yet!"
The 2005 Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be organised in Belgium by Flemish broadcaster VRT and Walloon broadcaster RTBF. •
Quote:Tara Palmer-Tompkinson's commetary was genius!
I garee completely... she was making me laugh saying stuff like "Oh they wasn't very generous!" and "... Suprise Suprise there...They never give us good marks" it was reallu funny, constantly critising the other countries when they poorly voted for us! However we did do pretty well, didn't we come 3rd or 4th?
