That's amazing news! I'm still so pissed about Europapa that this year's ESC has been the first I haven't seen live since 2020 (I actually still haven't seen it at all, but I probably will eventually).

It will be mainly interesting what the EBU actually changes based on their secret evaluation. And the EBU councils have been newly stocked with voted-in members this summer as well, so it's new people in charge all around. Which has potential.
