Instead of the next star: From 2021 the corporation will elect the delegate to Eurovision
After seven years when the Israeli representative was elected to Eurovision through the "Next Star for Eurovision" program broadcast on request 12, the Board of Public Broadcasting Corporation decided that as of 2021, the Israeli representative to Eurovision via pre-Eurovision will be broadcast in the corporation here 11. This is the first time since the corporation was established more than two years ago In which the channel selects the Israeli representative and song for Eurovision instead of the successful program requested by Rotem Sela and Essy Ezer.
Factors in the corporation told Walla! A culture that the corporation is about to voice calls for outside production companies to produce plans for them, both for the Israeli representative to Eurovision and for the song to be sent. The plans will be broadcast as stated in the corporation here 11 starting next year. It is not yet clear how the decision is expected to affect the future of the "Next Star" program, as it is all based on the Israeli representative's choice for Eurovision. It is not yet clear whether the plan will continue with another concept or be completely canceled.
For decades, pre-Eurovision has taken place on the public channel, but in recent years it has been held as part of "The Next Star" in request 12. In recent years, the election of the Eurovision representative gained renewed momentum thanks to cooperation with Rainbow 12. About two years ago, remember, Neta Barzilai was elected Nothing even won Eurovision and brought it to Israel.
