In this week’s episode, we are returning to The Eurovision Travel Guide, our monthly series where we explore the history of a current or previously participating broadcaster at the Eurovision Song Contest. Join us as we feature the broadcaster from Türkiye, then known as Turkey, learning about some of their entries, their national selection methods, and some fascinating historical and musical notes!
50 years after their debut, Turkey’s legacy at the contest is unprecedented. From bops in the 80s to culturally powerful sounds in the 00s, Turkey’s time at the contest is diverse and iconic. While the Turkish Broadcaster no longer participates in the contest, we dedicate this episode to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their debut.
