Czech Republic withdraw from Eurovision
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 24 July 2009
The Czech Republic has announced that it will no longer enter the Eurovision Song Contest due to a lack of interest in the country.
Since its debut in the contest in 2007, The Czech Republic has not faired well, failing to ever make the final and this year becoming the first country for five years to score nil points in the semi final. Despite this, a spokesman for Czech Television told the BBC that poor viewing figures had been the reason for the decision to withdraw from the competition.
