Perfect! In general I prefer the ESC to be held in the last half of May. Perfect for a little holiday get-away.
Hoping to be able to go there - spending my birthday in Wien!!

According to the Austrian DerStandard the EBU favours Vienna's Stadthalle to host the next Eurovision.
Song Contest: EBU soll Wien bevorzugen - ORF - derStandard.at
Basically it says that from the capacity it is the only hall in the bid which could host a green room on the floor, something we seems very important for the EBU
Furthermore Vienna would attract more sponsorship money because it already has a strong image.
For ORF it would also be the most convenient choice since they wouldn't need to relocate and could spare lots of their own money.
On the other hand, Innsbruck still has the deeper pockets, whereas Vienna has no money at all.
The tabloid newspaper "Österreich" seems to play a game on their own, by spilling rumours and stating in each of their regional editions a different favourite to host. Still, many ESC blogs and websites think that Österreich/oe24.at is a legit source of information. Well, it's not y'all!

Exactly what Verjamem said
Hmm, Andi Knoll (the Austrian commentator) is making cryptic remarks on his Facebook page

"If the ORF centre had a chapel they would start heating the oven soon. Soon there will be white smoke when it comes to the host city. ESC 2015"
...and a bit later he wrote "Ok, I hear someone's getting wood for the oven. No smoke anymore today"
Announcement tomorrow then?

According to tt.com, Vienna had the worst offer of the three remaining candidate cities, Innsbruck had the best. Yet Wrabetz, socialist puppet of the Vienna mayor, announced Vienna.
It sucks, Vienna is so disgusting, but everone thinks it's cool
