What is Eurovision?
Eurovision is an annual song contest where countries from all over Europe (and some outside Europe) send a representative to perform a song in front of a live audience and television viewers. The event has been running since 1956 and is watched by millions of people around the world. It is one of the biggest music events of the year. Spain has consistently competed in Eurovision since it first joined the contest in 1961. RTVE is always the corporation that has broadcasted the festival.
The distinctive format of Eurovision, which blends music, culture, and national pride, is one of the reasons it has grown to be so well-known. People of all ages appreciate the festival’s extravagant performances, colorful costumes, and cheerful tunes because of these factors. Additionally, Eurovision has its own stage on Twitter. Hundreds of thousands of tweets are shared since the date of the festival arrived.
Eurovision and RTVE
According to Eurovision’s website: Participating Broadcasters work hard to prepare acts that will qualify from the show’s Semi-Finals, hoping for a ticket to the Saturday night Grand Final where they will join the so-called ‘Big Five’ broadcasters. The Big Five are the Participating Broadcasters from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom – the group of countries who via their broadcasters make the biggest financial contribution towards the organisation of the Contest.
The Spanish broadcaster is RTVE. The corporation is in charge not only of producing and showcasing the Contest but also of amplifying its content. In fact, the Twitter approach that RTVE does with Eurovision comes with an official Twitter account and an official hashtag. Both, the account and the tweets, are carefully monitored with Audiense and Tweet Binder.
