Eurovision Song Contest: By Karen Fricker Theatre Critic Sat., May 14, 2016 STOCKHOLM—It one of the most successful live TV entertainment programs in the world, which this year will reach an estimated 200 million viewers, according to Toronto Star. Europeans have been love-hating it for six decades, Australia got skin in the game and for the first time this year it being screened live in the U.S.A., featuring a live performance by Justin Timberlake. But there no live broadcast for Canaidans to enjoy the fun. It time for Canada to get on board with the Eurovision Song Contest. What makes it unique is that it a contest of nations, with broadcasters from participating countries sending along three-minute original pop songs. Founded in 1956, Eurovision is an annual competition to choose the best pop song in Europe and the granddaddy of all TV song contest formats.
