I have to say when the Beeb announced that they would be running a pop-up radio station purely dedicated to Eurovision this year, I had my doubts... How would they fill 4 days of airtime? Would anyone actually tune in? Is it going to be another half-wash BBC attempt to say they're taking the competition seriously? Et Al...
WOW! I couldn't have been more delighted when BBC Radio 2 Eurovision went live yesterday at noon! The production so far has been super slick with a fantastic schedule. If you haven't given it a listen already - DO IT NOW!! Its GENUINE radio, but for euro-lovers!!
There's been some EXCELLENT live content from Mr Paddy O'Connel from Copenhagen, plus special editions of Sounds of the 60s/70s/80s, commentary of the semi-finals by the incredible Ana Matronic and as I write this, a really interesting show about the Eurovision-Monarchy; ABBA, presented by fellow euro-addict Mr Scott Mills...
They have also created this fabulous Eurovision Playlister on Spotify...
The station is available via the BBC Radio 2 website, the iPlayer Radio app and DAB Digital Radio across the UK from noon - midnight from 8th until 11th May 2014.

THANK YOU BBC!!!
