Junior Eurovision 2023: A total of 27 million viewers watched the show!
Junior Eurovision 2023 was an enormous success once again, drawing in viewers from all over Europe. The 2023 edition is another proof of how well the contest is received among European countries and the opportunities it offers to young artists.
The success is also depicted in viewing rates, as this year the contest attracted in total 27 million viewers.
Specifically, a total of 27 million viewers tuned in for at least a minute during the live broadcast from Nice. However, the viewing figure in average was about 6.4 million, an 1.5 million decrease from the 2022 edition held in Yerevan, Armenia. The broadcast on YouTube was watched by 300,000 people live as well as the week following the competition.
Junior Eurovision 2023 was most successful in Poland, France and Italy, in which over a million viewers on average were tuned in.
Junior Eurovision 2024
Following Zoé’s win in Nice, France now hold the record for the most wins in the competition along with Georgia. In fact, France is the second country to win twice in a row, while it has managed to win the three out of four most recent editions.
However, it is not clear whether France will host the contest for the second year in a row. According to the Director of programs at France Télévisions, no decision has been made on whether France will ultimately host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2024.
Bearing in mind the fact that France has hosted the contest twice in just three years and the financial burdens caused by the Olympic Games held in Paris this year, France Télévisions may decline the hosting. Following the potential refusal by France’s side, the EBU will be open for proposals.
