Talk:European Broadcasting Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed Transnistria as a potential EBU member, as it lacks international recognition and its seperatiste dictatorship government (see article) probably is occupied with other things than applying for EBU membership. -- 790 19:30, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Isn't the EBU a Broadcasting Union rather than a union of countries? The article treats the countries as members of the EBU, shouldn't that be the broadcasting organizations? I see no logic e.g. behind what's written about RTS and RTCG (Serbia & Montenegro) .. both are already full members, and the country eventually splitting up wouldn't change anything in that matter. -- Ben NL, +/- 01:45 January 7 2006 (UTC)

Wasn't "It's a Knockout" (Jeux Sans Frontieres) the biggest Eurovision show before it ended several years ago? --PkerUNO 05:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

I removed the following section as it is not really directly related to EBU. I leave it here in case discussions or new article organization provide an adequate place for this:

Another well-known production is Wetten, dass..?, a entertainment show made by ZDF, ORF and SF-DRS. Participating countries are Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the German-speaking Italian province of South Tyrol. "Wetten, dass..?" is Europe's most popular family entertainment for almost 30 years and is hosted by Thomas Gottschalk. The show has been broadcast from Aspendos (amphitheater), Paris (EuroDisney), Majorca and Xanten (Germany) and several other German, Austrian and Swiss cities. Former host, Frank Elstner, had the chance to broadcast with John Paul II by recorded video link, but Elstner refused. Internationally there are other versions from China, Russia and Turkey.
