EXCLUSIVE: The "September scenario”

For one more time Hod45, brings you exclusively news regarding the scenarios that the European Broadcasting Union and the Dutch government are discussing. As we have written in a previous article, postponing the event to June is the most likely scenario, but September is not out of the question.
The main problem for the "September scenario” was that the winning broadcaster would not have enough time to organise next years event. The solution that is now on the table, is for one of the BIG 5 countries, most likely Germany, to be prepared to host the 2021 edition, in case the winning broadcaster claims they don't have enough time to organise the event in 8 months from September 2020.

Since several fake news are surrounding the net it needs to be clear that despite the symbolic reasons that EBU doesn’t want to cancel this years event, legally that would be impossible since contracts have been signed not only with the broadcasters, the sponsors, the construction companies but also with record companies and songwriters that own the masters of 2020 songs. Cancelling the event would mean that all these people would need to agree on that,which of course is impossible.
