On the official German Eurovision website breaks employee of the German NDR2 and ‘ ESF expert ‘ Thomas Mohr a lance for the survival of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

In an opinion piece on eurovision.de he writes: ‘ I think the JESC relevant. It’s a nice idea to the big Eurovision stage also for the little ones to open. (…) Who knows Germany next year already takes part. I would like it, because in recent years the show has developed in a positive way. ‘

What that may be, the fact is that for the very first time the Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be streamed live via the aforementioned website. With comments by, you guessed it, Thomas Mohr. The sudden interest is there perhaps because last year the Big 5 country Italy children’s contest won. In the past, the United Kingdom and France Spain also took successfully part. Germany itself has never taken part, as the only Big 5 country.

Flemish viewers can tune in this Saturday at 7.30 pm on the German livestream, the official livestream on the Dutch junioreurovision.tv or just NPO3.
