Eurovision (network)
Eurovision is a pan-European television telecommunications network owned and operated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). It was officially founded in 1954 in Geneva, Switzerland, and its first official transmission took place on 6 June 1954. In the lead-up to the network's formal establishment, the coronation of Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953 was one of the first events to be broadcast across Europe.
Major television broadcasts are distributed live through the Eurovision network to EBU members. Members share breaking news footage through the daily Eurovision news exchange (EVN). They also exchange television programmes through the network.
The EBU department that operated the Eurovision network became a separate joint-stock company under Swiss law (Aktiengesellschaft or société anonyme) in 2019, with the EBU as its sole shareholder.
In January 2023, Eurovision Services was sold to a German investment advisory company, DUBAG AG, based in Munich. The terms of the agreement were not published.
The EBU has also owned and operated a radio counterpart, Euroradio, since 1989.
The name "Eurovision" was originally coined by British journalist George Campey when writing for the Evening Standard, and was adopted by the EBU for its network.
The first official Eurovision transmission took place on 6 June 1954. It broadcast the Narcissus Festival in Montreux, Switzerland, followed by an evening program from Rome, including a tour of the Vatican, an address from Pope Pius XII and an apostolic blessing. A year before the official launch, the Coronation of Elizabeth II was one of the first Eurovision broadcasts.
Eurovision was managed by the European Broadcasting Union's Eurovision Operations Department and offered permanent coverage of Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, North Africa and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as ad-hoc coverage of the African continent and the Pacific Rim.
