Explained in plain English

Who runs Eurovision?

The European Broadcasting Union, or EBU, is the alliance of public service media organisations that organises Eurovision. It's not a government body, but rather a professional association that helps its members share content and expertise, including putting on big events like the Song Contest, which is a huge logistical undertaking.
