The Eurovision Song Contest is broadcast with an extensive accompanying program. NDR announces “Countdown” and “Aftershow”.
Fans of the international singing competition Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) are already looking forward to May 11th. On this day, this year’s ESC final will take place in Malmö, Sweden. As the NDR, which is responsible for this country, announced on Wednesday, this time there will once again be a pre- and post-program for the big live show for everyone interested.
Accordingly, the ESC programs “Countdown” and “Aftershow” will also be broadcast live from the Scandinavian city on May 11th – together with ORF and Swiss television. This means that viewers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland can get in the mood together – and end the ESC evening together.
