Eurovision Asia is allowing viewers to vote for free through an online platform where one can vote for at least three songs, dividing eight songs between them. ESC Insight looks at how this unusual experiment of a voting system will work, and how it will play out in Eurovision Asia and beyond.

Ahead of its debut on Saturday 14 November, James Stephenson tells the story behind how Eurovision Asia came to be, the players involved, and whether Eurovision can win new hearts in Asia – or not.

James Stephenson asks whether the Junior Eurovision Song Contest is doing enough to establish itself with young people, and why targeting a big audience may not lead to a big impact.

Armenia has won the 2026 Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Ben Robertson, James Stephenson and Dane Jorgensen pile through the statistics to pick out the headlines from the dramatic victory.

Junior Eurovision’s return to a 21:00 CEST primetime slot brings the spectacle of the contest back into the evening spotlight. What difference does a few hours make? Ben Robertson has the answer.

In many ways Junior Eurovision preparations for delegation are much like the real thing. Make-up, sound checks, rehearsal schedules, cultural visits in the local area. But last year one thing was removed from the package. Access to independent press. Ben Robertson investigates why this happened, and proposes another model where Junior Eurovision could re-introduce press in line with their values and to the benefit of delegations and their young artists.
