UK broadcaster The BBC have announced that they’re to move the broadcast of next year’s Semi Finals to their main channel, BBC One.
Speaking on the recent announcement of Liverpool hosting next year’s contest, Kate Phillips, BBC’s Director Unscripted Content said:
“We are delighted to be working with Liverpool to host the Eurovision Song Contest next year, on behalf of Ukraine. Liverpool, and the BBC, will do everything to ensure that this special occasion, fully reflects Ukrainian culture, music and communities.
We will absolutely get this right. I’m also thrilled that both Semi-Finals and the Grand Final will be shown to UK audiences live on BBC One.”
The UK broadcaster The BBC previously showed the semi finals on BBC Three. Next year will mark the first time that the broadcaster has shown all three shows on their main channel, BBC One. At the time of writing it’s unclear if the move will be for just next year or if it will happen permanently.
