Re: ANDORRA - Andorra 2011
Won't the have enough money.
Why doesn't Spain help them. I'm sure they still want to participate plus they'll have more chance now with 50/50 in semis.
TV3 (Public Television of Catalonia) help them in 2004 with the production of the programmes of the preselection to Eurovision. The programme was called "12punts" (12points) and was showed both in Andorra by (ATV) and Catalonia by (TV3). Also both of us could vote.
Also was a surprise that, public of Andorra and Catalonia had diferent favorite singer and song. Marta Roure was the most voted by Andorra and "Bis a Bis" by Catalonia.
"Jugarem a estimar-nos" was the favorite song for andorran public and "
Terra" was it, for the catalan one.
Here it's already the page of the programme-

The argument to showed in Catalonia (and can vote), was that we had the same language (catalan) and was the first participation of Andorra...but, I don't think was totally fair to expend public money of catalns to chose the entry of Andorra.
And TVE helping ATV... If it cannot expend much money for our own selection, we will not help others.
However, always the Spanish Government can give a grant of some hundreds of euros to the Governt of Andorra. (To promote their own culture). As it does with others countries.
