Talk:Eurovision Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article seems to have been translated from German. This would explain the explicit reference to the German show "Wetten das" and the following sentence: "Some of the members include German broadcasters ARD and ZDF as well as Austrian broadcaster ORF." To make the article more language-neutral, I've removed those sentences. MaartenVidal 18:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] first eurovision broadcast?

In the article it says:

The first official broadcast was transmitted on June 6, 1954. It showed the Narzissenfest in Montreux.

what is the source of this information?? I have a book by Philips (one of the major contributors to the technical innovations required for eurovision broadcasting) that states the first 'official' eurovision broadcast was the crowning of Queen Elisabeth of the UK, which happened in 1953, and that some tests were done earlier still.
