Despite the country’s non-participation in Eurovision in recent years, North Macedonia keeps on participating in Junior Eurovision, and in fact, a while ago the representatives for the next Contest in Madrid were announced! Read more
In less than five months from today, the 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Madrid. According to a BBC journalist, Adrian Bradley, the United Kingdom will withdraw from the Junior Eurovision contest due to low viewership. But another country will fill the void, and according to our exclusive information it will be ready to announce its grand return in a few days!
Following sixteen years of absence from the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, BBC made its return two years ago and continued the same success it had during the early years of the contest with two consecutive top five placements and an online vote win. However, the low viewership the national broadcast of the competition received, made UK’s public television to decide to pull out of the upcoming edition, which is scheduled to take place in Madrid on November 16.
Ah some sad@bbceurovision
news. After a couple of sucessful years, the BBC has told me they won’t be taking part in this years Junior competition in Madrid. They came 5th in Yerevan and 4th in Nice, but possible viewing figures didn’t quite reach the heights they’d hoped for.— Adrian Bradley (@adebradley) June 21, 2024
While all of this is going on in London, officials in another European capital are preparing to announce their nation’s return to Junior Eurovision in 2024.
Since everything has been finalized and only a few formal details need to be completed, they are ready to officially announce their return and even their representative, which is great news for all Junior Eurovision fans.
In fact, based on our exclusive information, the hopes are high about their return as the young participant selected for the nation’s representation is a gifted singer, and they anticipate that they will provide us with an excellent performance.

The Steering Group for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 visited Madrid to supervise the competition’s preparations, which will be held in the Spanish capital, as seen in pictures posted on social media by Alexandra Redde-Amiel, the head of France’s delegation in both Eurovision and Junior Eurovision. The notable thing, though, is that Martin Österdahl—who serves as Junior Eurovision’s Executive Supervisor to this day—is conspicuously absent from the pictures.

The aforementioned development supports the rumor that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is seeking to remove Martin Österdahl from his position due to his poor handling of this year’s Eurovision and crisis that emerged, which brought about an abundance of negative publicity to the competition. This was also evident during the live broadcast of the Final, when he was the target of numerous and strong criticism as well as booing from the audience.
The 22nd Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Caja Mágica, Madrid on November 16, following France’s refusal to host the contest for the third time in four years.

After the announcement that Spain will host Junior Eurovision 2024, five cities have bid to host the contest. According to the spanish media the following countries hope to be the one, that will host JESC 2024:
The local governments of Barcelona, Málaga and the Valencian Community, have already stated their interest in bidding. RTVE, the national broadcast of Spain is going to meet with teams from all five potential host cities within a few days, in order to discuss each of the bids with production copmanies and choose the most suitable city to host the contest. The final decision will be made subsequently.
Last year’s winner was France with Zoé Clauzure and her song “Coeur”. According to the competition’s rules, the winning country of its edition has the right of the first refusal on hosting the next year’s competition. In France’s case, bearing in mind that it has hosted the event for two times in just three years and the financial burdens due to the hosting of the Olympic Games the summer of 2024, it was not sure whether the country would be able to host again.
Hence, France Télévisions decided to hand over the organisation of the 2024 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The next country in line was Spain that finished in second place with Sandra Valero and “Loviu”.
As a result, Spain will host the Junior Eurovision for the first time twenty years following its first and only win in the contest.
