Tonight for the first time in six years a British national Eurovision final place. For the first time is that on a digital channel.<\/p>\n

After years of internal choices and disastrous results, the British threw the helm this year. The broadcaster BBC put for the first time in years a open registration and a national final on television on legs. One snag: the preliminary round is not broadcast on BBC One or Two, but on the digital channel BBC Four<\/strong>. Now BBC Three recently has become an online channel, BBC Four culture channel will also broadcast the semifinals of the Eurovision song contest.<\/p>\n

The show Eurovision: You Decide <\/em>will take an hour and a half and has six participating artists and songs. Furthermore, there is time and space for guest artists as last year’s winner and this year’s presenter M\u00e5ns Zelmerl\u00f6w <\/strong>and Katrina Leskanich<\/strong>, who in 1997<\/a> as a singer of Katrina & The Waves won Eurovision, for the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Mel Giedroyc (photo), best known in the United Kingdom as presenter of the popular reality series The Great British Bake Off<\/em>, presents the whole event. Only the voice of the Viewer, that both by telephone, sms and via the internet<\/strong> can vote, will determine the outcome. Well there is a panel of experts<\/strong> to the entries of constructive comments. That consists of the above mentioned Katrina, Carrie Grant, that the United Kingdom as a member of the Group Sweet Dreams represented at the Eurovision song contest 1983 in Munich<\/a>, and Jay Revell, a Director who worked with Ellie Goulding has in the past.<\/p>\n
