Given Poland’s fanatical following at the Junior Eurovision contest (3.4 million of the total 11.2 million viewers of the Junior Eurovision 2019 contest were from inside Poland), it was a no brainer for broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP) to want to host the 2020 contest.

This happened at Eurovision Choir 2019, as Scotland debuted with Wales appearing both times in the contest’s short history.BBC Alba, who broadcast and sponsored Scotland’s entry, with the media campaign behind the conductor Joy Dunlop (an established folk singer in her own right) quite slick as local newspapers across the country reporting on their local choir singer being handpicked by Dunlop to join the assembled choir, have not been shy about their intentions to join Junior Eurovision.BBC Alba confirmed before Eurovision Choir 2019 that talks were ongoing with the EBU about a potential Junior Eurovision 2020 debut.
