Eurovision
The Euro Vision is a 1954 in Geneva institution, founded the Union of European Broadcasting Union for the exchange of television and radio programs .
Broadcasts within the scope of the Eurovision are introduced with the Eurovision logo and the main theme from the prelude to the Te Deum by Marc-Antoine Charpentier ( commonly known as "Eurovision Anthem", "Eurovision Fanfare", "Europafanfare") as a signature melody. The first official Eurovision broadcast was a broadcast from the Daffodil Festival in Montreux on June 6, 1954. Another early Eurovision broadcast was the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans , which resulted in the worst motorsport disaster in history, with 84 fatalities.
The EBU ( European Broadcasting Union ) in Geneva operates its own satellite channel for the exchange of news images (EVN = Eurovision News). The Eurovision channels make their own material available to each other via this network.
To a lesser extent, there was also an exchange of programs with the Intervision of the then Eastern Bloc countries.
