No surprice there, at all.
First of all congratulations !
I am happy about this.
But, lets be patient and wait how many countries will take part.
Sweden is apperently in, but this time only SVT takes care of it, and not the radiochannel SR it seems. Will have more exact news coming later in spring I suppose.
SVT has canceled LMF so it looks like are pulling out again if not SVT has decided to choose song and artist like in 2010
is confirmed
is "ready" to confirm it's participation, possibly next week (Hopefully on St. Patrick's Day)
ITV has confirmed United Kingdom will not take part once again.

Interesting to note that the UK took part in all four Eurovision spin-offs at least once during the 2000's, but only took part once in a spinoff in the 2010's so far, which was EYM 2010. I think the problem of having children be part of a phone vote where they might not score anything is probably the hurdle stopping BBC from taking part in JESC.
No, I have heard that SVT is planning to continue, just that they have taken the rights from SR of doing Lilla MF. Maybe it will be something else or that LMF is back on the TV later in the autumn.
