There are likely to be fresh transparency horrors ahead for DG Tim Davie, as questions are asked about how much the BBC pays Eurovision to demonstrate that nobody likes us any more. The BBC gets a bye to the final of the Song Contest, because it is one of the so called 'Big Five' contributors to the EBU, along with France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Last night, our European neighbours, inside and outside the EU, failed to give us a single vote. There was nothing from Australia, not even after Liz Truss said, yeah, send us your cattle, dead or alive. Why, ask some, not pay less and get knocked out in the semis, because we're never going to win ?
The question was last asked directly in 2018.
Q: Please could you tell me the direct cost to the BBC to enter the Eurovision Song Contest since the
last year in which data is available and also the annual amount the BBC gives to the European
Broadcasting Union for in membership fees also since the last year in which data is available.
A: The information you have requested is excluded from the Act because it is held for the purposes
of ‘journalism, art or literature.’
