- The first Semi-Final of the Eurovision Song Contest was broadcast live on across Europe and the world on May 7th 2024. Here's a look at how a few stations in Europe handled the networked programme. Some left the broadcast slightly early...

damn, I can't believe Rai actually joined ALMOST in time lol
True i also cant believe that RAI didnt gave priority to advertiments
@@Gab157_Italy let's hope they join in time for the Grand Final as well...
This is fact.
Nah, they must started the ads and sponsorship bumper early
Spot-on timing from Rylan Clark and Scott Mills for BBC 👍
It’s a pre record so you would hope so!
@@willlongman1009 It's still quite tricky to get on-air and to hit a live event with a pre-recorded link that cleanly (and to pre-record a link to time over a delayed satellite link). I was doing the maths in the UK control room in Salford to ensure it was clean (as the UK director)
Just like in last year, our country's broadcaster, TVP, due to no-ad-break-within-programme law, aired the Eurovision, like BBC did (with scene remembering the win of Ukraine in 2022). I remember, when they tried to make an exception in 2020 during "Europe Shine a Light", when they regularly aired a LIDL ad during short ad breaks (unlike possibly some of others, which broadcasted a promo of it's programmes (an interior, channel's programming, ad), but I don't know, which ones).
Ah, RAI, not as late as last year, though.
Interesting that in Germany, One left early. Thought maybe it was for sponsors as I'm pretty sure they aren't allowed to show them, but I was comparing the Eurovision channel feed to BBC One and there wasn't anything covered up until 1:35 with the Good Night, by which time One was lone gone.
Also RTS didn't end with Te Deum, which is interesting.
"One" left the feed as soon as their commentator had said good night. I guess they were a bit nervous because the show was running over. Same probably goes for RTS, but they didn't even bother to play out Te Deum locally.
@@tevebits Fascinating. If you're planning to do one for tonight's semi and the finals I look forward to watching them.
Germany and Italy were, this time, only a bit late on ESC intro, but Germany was, this time, too early in case of outro (in the case of this year's SF1 broadcast, of course).
why though? why did Germany leave so early?
@@FrancescoRosi27 the end credits contain advertisements and sponsors.
Neither Germany nor UK may show ads, so they either have an overlay to hide the ads (as UK did here and Germany did in 2023), or they leave early (as Germany did here)
@@justjanne-de ah right... I remember Das Erste having to cover up the ads last year but I wasn't expecting One to leave early because of them lol
@@justjanne-de The semi-final did also overrun by about 2 minutes and Germany may also have chosen to leave the feed at the planned ending time rather than allow their channel to run 2 minutes late for a while.
I'm from Germany and I couldn't remember that we didn't join on time
This is the good stuff. Thanks for the effort in making these! Fascinating
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEOS! ❤
Great video!!!!
Please don’t wait 4 months until the next one ❤
Amazing vids, keep on the good work.
I NEEDED this video haha
Long Time No See 😊
amazing works!
To everyone who offered to record a specific channel during the finale: Thank you very much! You'll find my email by clicking on the channel info on this page: czcams.com/users/tevebits (Sorry, I don't like posting it in clear text here because of all the spam bots). I'm looking for segments of approx. 2 mins before and after the Eurovision opening and closing. I'll do my best to include them.
I love Rai 2's branding
For the grand final can you include an advertisement break? Last year there was a bit of a discussion on if the EBU actually produces a commercial free feed (as the beeb covered up the sponsorship with a blue square). However this year the sponsorship logo actually animates on screen (pushes up the Eurovision logo) which obviously didn't happen on the BBC version... unless SVT gave non commercial broadcasters clean versions of the break bumpers to use themselves.
I don't think there was a clean feed this year; the sponsor break-screen separating the 3 minutes blocks for channels that want to put commercials (or the lottery in the case of Spain ^^) is pretty clean, you can simply cover it. In 2019 there definitely was a clean(er) feed for channels that didn't want the Israeli MyHeritage sponsored "DNA information" after some songs
Edit: I've rewatched the video, and the "Good night!" screen on the BBC disappears at the same time as the EBU outro appears on all channels, so there might indeed be a clean feed!
@@hadrien03 I believe the "Good night!" covering up the sponsors on BBC One was just a graphic that they inserted locally from presentation, which they somehow managed to time perfectly, probably because they already knew the length of the credits.
I might be totally wrong but surely they don’t have to perfectly match it on the way out as long as it’s lined up on the screen perfectly as they can just take it out anytime in the second where the world feed is showing the same slide
@@moelester7527We just waited until we saw the EBU + SVT + Malmö logo, waited a beat, inserted our local grab of GOOD NIGHT, then waited until the host feed had GOOD NIGHT on its output and then lost our mask. (I put the contests on-air in the UK for the BBC - and have done since 2013)
The Good Night one was also seen on ARD (Germany). I think they and other broadcasters did indeed get a separate feed from the EBU to comply with their similar no-ad rules.
Honestly, you should add VRT from Belgium if you going to do one for the second semi-final...they aired a slide before the second semi-final which perfectly catch on the feelings that fans thought in this year contest!
That would indeed be interresting. Unfortunately, I can only add channels that I have access to (or that somebody sends me footage of).
@@tevebits I hope so. If I not wrong, that slide reads (originally in Belgian):
_"This is industrial action (sic). We condemn the human rights violations by the State of Israel. We also condemn Israel’s destruction of press freedom. That’s why we interrupted our broadcast."_
Honestly, when I saw that in a CZcams community post, I think that other broadcasters should do this...xD
@@tevebitsyou can get danish version from dr dot dk slash tv if you want. It's free.
How did you know that this is the content I wanted to see
actually, I watched this whole video again
For the first time we at Rai are finally arriving at the same time!
I'm pretty interested in seeing how all the Nordic broadcasters (including the host one) handled this. I'm sure most of them did some kind of pre-show special from Malmö like BBC One did, especially DR, because I think Copenhagen is right next to Malmö.
I watched semifinal 1 on DR's feed from Copenhagen and DR did their usual newscast before the semi with extensive coverage of the contest and pro-Palestinian sentiment in Malmö
Until 2026 RAI will join with everyone
One and RAI almost missed the intro. But when it's come to the end, One showing the outro earlier than the other
i watched it on CultureBox and i thought you were going to do this video
Mec je t'ai retrouvé haha
RTL actually started earlier than all the other broadcasters it seemed at least that's what I noticed
I find it interesting that the German and French broadcasts were on different channels (of the same EBU member networks) compared to last year. Both networks likely had reasons for doing so.
Germany and France do not consider the semifinals to be very important, so they dump them on second-rate channels. The final will be broadcast on "Das Erste" and "France 2" respectively. They're not the only ones doing this: Italy has the semis on Rai 2, while the final will be on Rai 1. In Switzerland it's SRF 2, RTS 2, RSI La2 for the semis, but SRF 1, RTS 1 and RSI La1 for the final.
@@tevebits Don't forget that the BBC also (used to) broadcast the semi-finals on BBC Three, and then BBC Four when the former was shutdown in 2016.
@@tevebits I would assume SVT, the host broadcaster, also did something similar. Although when I looked at their schedules yesterday, it apparently said that the second semi-final was to be broadcast on SVT1. So maybe they're gonna do it the other way around, and broadcast the grand final on SVT2.
Das Erste/ARD has aired the semi-finals exclusicely on ONE for years actually. For the final, they also air it on ONE but with Twitter comments which I highly recommend if you understand German. Makes the whole show even more fun.
What are One playing at towards the end there, dumping out early?
Edit: ohhh, sponsors again?
Sad that one was a bit late, I didn't see the whole Eurovision intro☹️
That was RAI in Italy. They were worse last year.
everyone saying RAI actually joined less late than the previous years... DAMN im so sorry for the Italians to have to deal with almost never ending commercials...
even I couldnt deal with the constant commercials watching Sanremo till after breakfast time XD
the commercials during the sanremo festival earned RAI as much as 60 million euros!
@@intersezioni 60????? WHAT??? So that’s why Sanremo lasts till after I ate breakfast at 7:30 in my country...
I vividly remember this year’s Sanremo the host of the contest was about to announce who placed in the top 5 of the finals but the results weren’t in yet so he said “uno momento, uno momento...” and like 2 commercials played before coming back to the results
Yeah they really wanna squeeze in every single drop of money into programming
What happened with Germany? (Late to join; very early to leave!)
Germany hardly ever win or do well, so they hate the Swedes.
They were late to join, because they messed up (although they were on time (the next programe screen is normally just 5 secs long and not around 12), they did not join in time for some reason). They left early because the ESC was running over time and they're not allowed to show ads that's why they left early
Das ist ungewöhnlich, dass ARD (inklusive der Sender von ARD "ONE" in Halbfinale) nach 20 Uhr keine Werbung anzeigt, auch keine Sponsoren eingeblendet, da in Deutschland sowieso öffentliche-rechtliche Rundfunk ist. Bei BBC ist verständlich, dass auch abends keine Werbung angezeigt haben, auch Sponsoren wurden weggelassen.
It almost seems too good to be true that BBC One and Two still have no DOG in 2024 (at least on linear).
Yeah, atleast my eyes are not ruined by those annoying DOGs!
It's about time they start using the DOGs they use on iplayer on the linear versions, but at the same time it might be good to have a clean view of Eurovision and other programming on BBC One and Two.
Wasn't RAI on strike?
I think it's the news teams, they didn't want to be the sound bubble of the current president.
SBS Australia done the ident aswell
How come One DE closed their feed really early? Like they barely showed any of the credits?
They are not allowed to show advertisements after 8pm
Notice how the BBC at 1:36 had the 'good night' to cover the sponsored logos.
Gotta love SRI not even really bothing and just instead just putting up a clock for a couple of seconds
UK viewers saw the "Good Night" part earlier than everyone else lol
That is because (like some of the stations across Europe), the BBC can't run commercials at all, domestically, on BBC One, that is why they're covering up the corporate sponsors at the end.
@@JamieMurphy25It's really interesting. Here in Finland advertisement and product placement on purpose on the national broadcaster Yle is prohibited as well but the sponsors haven't ever been covered by anything... 🤔🤔🤔
@@zapx5_3 that's probably just because that and the host broadcaster are part of the Nordvision "sub-network", so Nordvision (along with the host broadcaster) when the host city was chosen, probably imposed a rule of their own. Which is that every member of Nordvision should not cover up the sponsors at the end of the credits.
you should really add the Flemish eurosong
RTVE?
The BBC feed has no logos/graphics on screen compared to the others.
Except for one graphic that mentions BSL which is shown at 0:51.
@@moelester7527 I wonder why bbc no longer shows the logos, been a while now
One left early than 7 channels
Why do they use an EBU intro instead of outro in the end this year?
Not sure what you mean, they always show the Eurovision ident at the beginning and the end of the programme.
@@hexandcube But the ending ident has a slightly different animation and shorter tone than the starting one. It is a pity they didn't pay much attention to the details.

Germany: Screw the end credits 😂
When (also) Fictional Stations that air Eurovision.
That would be almost impossible, unless every TV station uploads a recording of how they join and leave Eurovision.

Germany had no interest in it at all, jouning being the last to join and the first to hop off, and even showing it only on ONE wich is a channel that almost no one watches... But I'm amaced how perfect the BBC did it again, how are they doing that????
becauseeee the UK has a lot of laws about TV including adverts and how much you should show every hour iirc... you should go watch Tom Scott's video about it its kinda fascinating
BBC and UK Television though I havent known a lot of info about it yet seems very clean and organized when it comes to the differences between showing blockbuster and main event programs like the Eurovision and a non main event program...
The BBC takes a lot of pride in its broadcasting and attention to detail, and as the UK's public service broadcaster, it's under a lot of scrutiny to get things exact. They're also the best in the business (although as a Brit, I'm a tad biased)
Our preliminary decision also took place in the night program. Why whatever?
This is a miracle, there's someone who messed up even more than RAI, Is this real life?
Ok but now get ready for the second semi-final, where Rai messed up with the EBU intro! 😂
Italians being laid back Italians, what we joined eventually, 2 seconds later but eeeh what's two seconds
No one fell behind!
A,small bir of myself dies inside when rai doesn't join the logo in time
Why you didn't included TVR ?
They're not taking part this year, especially as they recently launched 2 new stations over the past year (TVR Folclor and TVR Sport).
James Corden jumpscare
Poor Germany, almost having James Cordon ruin their Eurovision.
I watched Eurovision 2024 on CZcams and they still promote Morrocanoil Hair Treatment on CZcams. I guess everyone wants some Morrocanoil 😊
Never seen the product on sale anywhere in the UK.
@@grahamnancledra7036 Lmao, at the time you posted this comment, I just noticed that my mum also have a product from this brand
Will RAI hit it on time tonight 😂
RAI always late on schedule 😂😂
🍉
Of course Italy missed the time.
