For the second consecutive year, Logo has partnered with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to become the exclusive U.S. broadcast home of the Eurovision Song Contest and will air the 62nd annual Grand Final live and commercial-free next month.

We know that the contest has a lot of dedicated fans in the United States and we’re excited that, thanks to Logo, even more viewers this year can discover the excitement of the world’s longest running annual TV music competition and ‘celebrate diversity’ with audiences around the world.”
