 EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
Bizarrely, the UK's song was chosen after the date of the international final but the EBU adopted the idea of contacting the international juries by telephone and this was introduced in 1957 and used until 1993.
Some viewers of the Contest view the event as a combination of camp entertainment and a musical train wreck (a fact played upon in the UK broadcast with the sardonic BBC commentary of Terry Wogan) and a subculture of Eurovision Song Contest drinking games has evolved in some countries.
Even though the Junior Eurovision Song Contest was approved by the EBU, it hasn't been very successful, and has generally had unsatisfactory audience ratings, particularly in the United Kingdom, where from 2004 it was only shown on digital channel ITV2.

Eurovision is an association of European (and Mediterranean) broadcasters that has recently expanded to include broadcasters from the new European Union members, plus more countries to the East.
And every year, people complain about the lowered standard of songs, performers and performances at San Remo, echoing many of the criticisms of the other popularly-voted winners of TV talent contests that are currently big business around the globe.
