Austria: The announcement of the artist in December!

The national broadcaster of Austria, ORF, is expected to announce in December the artist who will represent the central-european country in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden.

ORF’s scout Eberhard Forcher posted yesterday the below comment:

“The day before yesterday was the deadline for submissions to the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. WOW ! Unbelievable, how many great songs have come in the last few weeks. Over 60 ! Most of them are still active scouting . Peter Schreiber and my smallness have been on broadband since June probing & motivating . . . . Now the editors will invite the 15 (?) best acts to the ORF Zemntrum for video casting. The clips will then be released to the juries and the ORF will announce its choice in December at the latest. The idea of the planned public voting cannot be implemented this year for legal reasons. So much for that !”

Austrian, German, Swiss broadcasters join forces for Eurovision 2024 programming!

Public broadcasters ORF (Austria), ADR (Germany) and SRF (Switzerland) are working together to increase their cooperation in different programming areas including the Eurovision Song Contest.

The decision was taken in a joint meeting in Munich.  The three partner channels agreed on bi and trilateral plans for future coordination broadcasting in the areas of culture, documentaries, entertainment.  The 140 billion euros agreements allow the channels to share their expertise and resources in future productions.  This would include future cooperation for the Eurovision Song Contest.

For instance, last May, Austrian and Swiss broadcasters broadcasted together ARD’s programmes “ESC – der Countdown” and “ESC – die Aftershow” hosted by Barbara Schöneberger.  In a similar fashion, the three channels will work together in the broadcasting of next Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö.

Austria: Watch the stand-in rehearsal of “Who The Hell is Edgar?”!

It has already been two months since the 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool. 37 performers stepped on the stage of the M&S Bank Arena giving it all and representing their countries in the biggest song competition in the world, after months of intense preparations.

The impressive stage performances that they pulled off were first tried on the Eurovision stage a few days before their arrival through simulations, known as stand in rehearsals. Stand in rehearsals are usually executed by local artists and performers so all participants can know in advance the television result of the performances. On a later stage, they have the opportunity to ask for changes during the technical rehearsals executed by the representatives themselves.

A few days ago the stand-in rehearsals of Switzerland, Israel, Serbia, Portugal, Italy, Finland and Cyprus were leaked. You can watch all of them in our article.

A little while ago another rehearsal was released and it is none other than that of Austria. It is the song “Who The Hell is Edgar?” performed by Teya & Salena. You can see the rehearsal in the video below:

What do you think of Austria’s stand-in rehearsal? Did you see any difference between this and the final performance?
