The new Director of the Eurovision Song Contest for the European Broadcasting Union, Martin Green, has spoken about how the Eurovision Song Contest format can be repeated worldwide – without mentioning specific formats in the planning.

Speaking to Deadline, Martin Green had the following to say:

“I’m fascinated by the fact that 69 years ago they came up with the format, which is perfect for the modern age.  We remain one of the few appointment-to-view linear television events in the world, but also, we’re a gift to digital platforms.  You can see how that is eminently repeatable around the world.”

The American Song Contest lasted for one season in 2022. Eurovision Asia has yet to take place, with its website last updated in 2023. Currently in the works are Eurovision Canada, Eurovision India and Eurovision Latin America.
