KAZAKHSTAN 2016 - not taking part

[Sim]

Australia this year ? That almost was the same hours of ESC's airing/broadcasting...

well in Australia it was already morning again when the show started and certainly when it ended,...
Don't get me wrong, I would not be against a participation of Kazachstan, but I don't think the public their would be hugely interested

You don't know until they are given the chance. Are there viewing figures for Kazakhstan?

Yes here they are:

TV rating of the broadcast of the show in Kazakhstan according to TNS Central Asia data were as following:
May 25 live at 01.00 - 0.4%
May 26 recorded at 17.00 - 1.6%
May 27 live at 01.00 - 0.6%
May 28 recorded at 17.00 - 1.3%
May 29 live at 01.00 - 0.9%
May 30 recorded at 17.00 - 2.1%

So according to the stats Kazakhstan will likely use juries since interest is pretty much non-existent, however Kazakhstan is not even trying to enter so the entire discussion is kinda pointless at the moment.

Yeah, juries will have to exist if they did join. I think they could rack up much more interest if they participated in it.

Unless I calculated incorrectly, that is still about 150,000 people watching the final live. As far as i'm aware Czech Republic only got about 90,000 viewers for one of the semi finals and still managed to get a public vote.

However while I do agree that the discussion at this point is useless, I do think that the interest is so low purely because of how late the contest is aired and the fact Kazakhstan isn't taking part - so why bother watching?

Exactly that. For example, here in Romania, if we won't take part in that year, I bet literally no one would watch. People are more interested in what the heck we are going to send and express their conspiracy theories like "only rich countries can win, EBU doesn't let Romania to win" every year.

Could we ask us the question above ? "Would it have in Kazakhstan a popular viewing figure ?"
We might ask us the question with SM and AZ in 2008 when they made their débuts.. or even Moldova in 2005..

Same here. If we wasn't in the final, literally no one would even watch it. Even the BBC apparently said once that if we wasn't in the final then there would be no way on earth they'd show the final on BBC 1 - because it would be such a waste of that Saturday slot.

If you want Romania to get rid of the lack of interest with ESC, then they should manage to send great songs like 2010 (and 2011 but...)

Romania always do well. 12th-ish place is nothing to be upset about imo, but apparently it is for Romanians.

Getting very bored of Australia being brought up time and time again and the same stupid remarks being made.

In all honesty, I would adore Kazakhstan participating, just as much as I enjoy Australia participating.

It's a shame I came into this thread to see people being excited about Kazakhstans path to the contest (and possibly with some great Kazakh music), only to see the same old people whining like spoilt brats about Australia.

I came for Kazakhstan, instead people STILL feel the need to talk shit about Australia, no matter what the topic. This type of moaning and drama is actually causing me to start detesting the Eurovision fandom, which is a shame when I know there are more positive ones out there. It's just getting harder to see them through all this cloud of negativity.

Fair enough, air your opinion, but it gets to a point where you're shoving it down peoples throats and you start to agitate people who are just trying to enjoy the contest for what it is.

I would love for Keshyou to compete in the future!

Zhanar Dugalova won the Türkvizyon SC 2014 for Kazakhstan, isn't she amazing ?

If only the UK could do well and consistently make top 15.. since 2010 we've came 25th (last), 11th, 25th, 19th, 17th, and 24th.

Or even Lashyn has a great song to be enjoyed

I don't blame them with their manners when they're facing it in front of their TV's screen.
We (French people) usually behave as douches when France isn't on the left side of the scoreboard => Could you imagine our reactions whom we have since 2010.

We are worse than Azerbaijan when it comes to expectations. 2 TVR literally says every year that we're going to win ._. Of course for the casuals 12th place is a disaster when you think we were the favourites, lol.

Finally EBU is given their first steps with looking forward to a future Kazakh participation in Eurovision in the future: Khabar TV joins as associated member in the EBU

The following steps: Counsil of Europe membership or EBU Invitation ala. Australia could be next for them.. x12s
