Eurovision 2017

Bumping the official thread.

Onward...

When Kiev hosted in 2005 it was effectively produced (certainly directed and technically covered) by SVT (and SR)... Be interesting to see how many of the team involved in this year's contest are involved...

Sven Stojanovic who was the live director in Kiev in 2005 (and directed a couple of other contests in the 00s) was the Show Producer of the Eurovision this year

Mods, please merge with the official thread. Thanks.

As discussed in the unofficial thread, I can't see Ukraine being in any position to put this show on, and certainly not to the standard we've come to expect this decade.

Don't forget SVT effectively produced the 2005 contest in Kiev... (They also did the same in Latvia and Riga earlier that decade)

I feel Russia will withdraw due to their ongoing conflict with Ukraine.

Can they get a female host though that doesn't shout every word...?

This is not the official thread.

How is it not? Why is the other thread official?

It isn't. This thread is older, so they should be merged. Search is there for a reason.

Petra doesn't shout every word, although I see what you mean if you were talking about 2005 (the female presenter was too excited).

I do think Ukraine will host, with SVT's help if necessary, but I doubt Russia will be there, nor San Marino.
