EXCLUSIVE: Cyprus will internally select its entry for Eurovision 2024 | The artist announcement soon to be made!

As the “Fame Story” selection format is opted out, Cyprus will choose its entry for Eurovision 2024 internally and we are really close to the announcement of the artist that will fly the Cypriot flag to Malmö next year.

Internal selection is the final solution for Cyprus

Regardless the initial idea of hosting a national final in January live from Nicosia, with 3 to 5 competing participants, the Cypriot National television decided to use the method of internal selection in order to select its next Eurovision act. Cyprus has been choosing its Eurovision acts internally since 2016 and RIK’s choice is proven to have an effect. Since 2016, Cyprus has managed to qualify to the Grand Final every time, except in one occasion, in 2022.

RIK’s team, considering that they have a strong song in their hands, but also an artist who can impress on the stage of the competition and wanting to defuse the tension between RIK and ERT regarding Fame Story, accelerated all the internal procedures needed for the internal selection.

Fame Story goes to OMEGA

It is indicative that Fame Story, no longer associated with the Eurovision contest and the Cypriot representation in it, will not even be broadcast on RIK. Based on what it was announced to the media in the last few hours, the musical talent show will be broadcast by OMEGA TV, as is the case with all STAR programs in Cyprus.

The official announcement in the coming days

Barring the unexpected, Cyprus will be the first country to announce its artist for Eurovision 2024.

It is just a matter of time till the official announcements are made from RIK, naming the artist who will succeed Andrew Lambrou on the stage of the competition.

We are sure the this announcement will cause a sensation among Eurovision fans. We will soon find out!
