I think we won't see Andorra next year. Spanish economy is in coma and to tell the truth this country is nothing more than a part of Spain. Even Spanish participation is in danger. Thank God the FORTA (regional channels) wants to join EBU, although our entry would be
Don't worry about Spain. It's true that we're in coma (and let's hope for the future and not to end up like Greece, but that's offtopic
...), but TVE gets an important part of its financing from a tax to the private channels, since TVE doesn't have advertising anymore.
And FORTA doesn't include every Spanish region, so I don't think FORTA could represent Spain + they are also public televisions anyway (some of them have even more deficit than TVE) + they are about 14 televisions, so I don't think all of them agreed on this
