The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 being hosted in the UK could end up costing the BBC tens of millions of pounds despite huge cuts at the broadcaster, according to the latest reports.
With the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the war that’s still being waged in the country, the BBC said in a statement: ‘It is a matter of great regret that our colleagues and friends in Ukraine are not able to host the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.’
Meanwhile, earlier this month the BBC said that the upcoming merger of BBC News and BBC World News to create a single 24-hour channel will result in 70 job cuts, while 20 on-screen and off-screen positions will be created in Washington DC. It’s understood that various options will be considered to obtain third-party and commercial funding for the event, with the host city also expected to contribute and possibly also the government.
