Czechia: Over 45.000 viewers watched ESCZ 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This year ESCZ, the national final through which Czechia’s entry for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest was selected, was broadcast live on TV by Czech broadcaster ČT art instead of being streamed online for the first time in fifteen years. This move was well received by the television audience, as ESCZ drew in over 45,000 viewers.

This number corresponds to 1.22% of the total viewers.

Aiko, with the song “Pedestal”, was the ESCZ winner and, as a result, the Czech representative in Eurovision 2024.

By collecting nearly twice as many votes as Elly, who came in second in the final rankings, Aiko was able to get the ticket for Malmö through the voting of the international audience rather than the Czech one.

The detailed results of ESCZ 2024:
  1. Aiko – 23.898
  2. Elly – 12.876
  3. MYDY – 7.031
  4. Tom Sean – 3.500
  5. Lenny – 2.375
  6. Tomas Robin – 1.313
  7. Gianna Lei – 653

Czechia: The deadline for ESCZ 2024 submissions has been extended!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Czech public broadcaster announced earlier today that there has been an extension to the deadline for submissions for ESCZ 2024, the national final that will determine the country’s entry in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest.

For several hours, the submission portal was unavailable due to technical issues. A day’s extension was thus granted by Czech public television as a way of making up for the time lost. As a result, the submission platform will close tomorrow, 7 November 2023 at 23:59 CET.

There are various differences between last year’s and this year’s selection process for the Czech Eurovision entry. The primary modification is the removal of the requirement for the lead performer to be a Czech citizen.

This year Czechia was represented by Vesna, with the song “My sister’s crown”, finishing in 10th place in the final.
