Eurovision Song Contest

The people of Liechtenstein have always had an interest in participating in the Eurovision Song Contest, however this was not possible as the country did not have a TV channel of its own, if the channel joins the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) the country will be eligible to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest. Liechtenstein had previously attempted to participate in 1969 and 1976, but was disqualified for not having a national broadcaster.
