Secondly, because for the first time in the history of the European Championships the Mixed Team Events – with each team composed by one man and one woman from the same nation – will be a part of the official program. |

In accordance with the ESC Guidelines for TV and Advertizing as well as with the Host Federation Agreement, the Organizers of the Championship will arrange the TV production of the finals in the Olympic events and will transmit the signal to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
