#BIRTHDAY: Magdi Rúzsa from Hungary is 40 today We miss Hungary. There, we’ve said it. Putting politics aside, they’ve put in some memorable stuff since that début in sunny Ljubljana in 1993. It’s not all been plain sailing, but without Hungary, it would be a far poorer contest. […]
MTVA, the Hungarian national broadcaster, have opened applications for A Dal 2026. A Dal started as the Hungarian national selection show for the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest.

#BIRTHDAY: Andrea Szulák from Hungary is 61 today There are a few areas of the Eurovision world that are very cunningly tucked away. So tucked away that people often forget they’re there. Like a certain event in Ljubljana in 1993. Was it a semi-final? Was it a pre-selection? […]
#BIRTHDAY: András Kállay-Saunders from Hungary is 40 today Songs sung in our favourite TV show cover a very wide range of themes. We’ve had songs about falling in love, songs about falling out of love, and songs about how we need to take care of the things we […]
