>Eurovision doesn't air in the United States because none of the broadcasters will pay for the rights if it's not going to bring in enough viewers to make up for the fee
NBC bought the rights https://eurovision.tv/story/peacock-eurovision https://eurovision.tv/story/peacock-eurovision
After that it's up to them blocking the Youtube stream or not and they did block it
>I don't think this is a case of the usual HN cliché of "Evil company blocks me from seeing something for no other reason than to be evil."
No it's the case "we bought the licence and we stream it on our streaming platform and you have to watch it here"
- reaperducer 4y agoThanks for the clarification. That didn't come up when I did my search. I guess that's what I get for using Google! So, it's not "blocked" as in not ever going to be available. It's just going to be on Peacock next Sunday. No it's the case "we bought the licence and we stream it on our streaming platform and you have to watch it here" No different than in the UK where you have to pay a fee to watch it on BBC.
- midasuni 4y agoIt’s broadcasting on bbc one at the moment. Graham is telling us we can vote for Poland. Is it broadcasting in NBC?
