Does anyone know if any U.S. channel will be broadcasting the Eurovision song contest from Athens,Greece?

The Eurovision song contest is an annual European contest that takes place in a different city every year (it takes place in a city of the country that won the year before)

Does anyone know if any U.S. channel will be broadcasting the Eurovision song contest from Athens,Greece?
You are best watching it live on the Internet. You can watch it from the Eurovision website, the BBC also stream live from their website with excellent and very funny commentary from Sir Terry Wogan but I'm not sure if you have to be in the UK to view it, when i was in the USA i could watch BBC national news streamed so I think it shouldn't be a problem.





The first link will take you directly to the BBC Eurovision player so you can check if it works over there.





And yes NBC are palning an American version of the contest to rival American Idol
Reply:I wanted to watch it here in the US, so I found out what channel on Directv would be offering it. I had to subscribe to a package of Spanish language channels, but TVE International (the national channel of Spain) is carrying the finals Saturday and I believe the semifinals on Thursday also. TVE is channel 407 on Directv. Even though this channel is in Spanish, the show is mostly songs in English and I'm not sure if they will overdub or subtitle the announcers from the Athens stage, Maria Menounos and Sakis Rivas.
Reply:Yes there is. Go on www.esctoday.www or www.eurovision.tv and you can watch it online live on 22 May. Or you can watch it on satellite on nearly every national TV of European countries: like ARD (Germany) on ASTRA, RTS (Serbia) on HOT BIRD, HRT (Croatia) on HOT BIRD, ORF (Austria) on ATRA and and and. By the way, American TV association have bought rights from European Broadcasting Union to organize similar competition in USA. Have fun!!!
