Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
If Slovakia wins, then maybe
The question is - will Czech Republic participate ever again?

Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
Why Slovakia? Your country didn't even bother participating when Germany hosted.
I guess it's not a matter of host country, it's the broadcaster's will.

Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
Because Slovakia is the only country that we really care about. Only they can convince our broadcaster to change their mind and try again. I guess they don't need to win but at least qualify and finish high in the final. Germany/Austria/Poland winning or finishing high would not convince our broadcaster, that's true.

Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
Is there an official explanation why your broadcaster does not want to participate? I mean, your country didn't want to participate for such a long time after they joined EBU, and when they decided, they sent entries that have no way of even qualifying from the semi.

Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
Well, it's not so long ago that we used to be one country and even though we are not anymore, we still have a special place in our hearts for each other. Czech and Slovak national broadcasters do some projects and shows together, so I can't imagine ESC in Bratislava without us. I think their broadcaster would put some effort to bring us back as well. I don't know what would happen afterwards.
Our broadcaster always states that there is a lack of interest for Eurovision here. I don't understand how is that going to change if we refuse to participate and ESC is not even aired on TV.
Ok, and do you know why do you only care about Slovakia?
Let's say, Slovakia wins, you return to the contest, and then? Would you withdraw again afterwards?

Lack of interest from public and negative response from medias and music critics, that's what they always say.

Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
It's unfortunate but not a shocker in the slightest. It's going to be difficult to bring the Czech Republic to the contest. And even if they decide to give it another shot, the odds of them withdrawing if they fail to qualify are high so unless the broadcaster and the fans genuinly want to take part, I don't see the purpose of convincing them to come back until they're ready.

Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
Ok, historic links, I understand.
I agree with what you say. The situation isn't likely to change, people will not wake up and suddenly watch Eurovision like in Sweden, how could it improve if you don't take part in it? It's a vicious circle.

Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
Well, It's true that there aren't as many fans as in some other countries. There are several hundreds or maybe thousands of (hard)core fans (judging by how many people are in our facebook fanpages and how many visitors czech ESC websites have daily). I think the situation here is not that much different from Slovakia, for example. Eurovision has no tradition here like in some western european countries that take part in this for many decades and also we don't have the patriotic need to promote our country as some balkan/eastern european coutries.

Re: CZECH REPUBLIC 2013
Nothing has been said or made by Czech Republic-TV. But i don't think there is big chances, but let's hope we see them return.
Maybe it will be like this: (My opinion)
Armenia (Returning)
Poland (Returning)
Czech Republic (Returning)
Liechtenstein (Debuting)
MAYBE Slovakia withdraw.
So 45 countries! :-D
