Armenia wins for a third time. France takes its sixth jury win in seven years. San Marino achieves its best result in any Eurovision.
@Bensvision. @dolphin_dane. John Model. One late night. And all the stats worth knowing from Junior Eurovision 2026 📊

Some of the jury winners I might think were *better* than the public vote winner, but this timeline would have been healthy for the Contest
Family and friends are here to watch #jesc2026
Supporting the Caucasian entries of Georgia and Armenia with my favourite Georgian wine (thanks Systembolaget) and these handy paper plates for supporting Naré tonight (thanks Lidl)
I believe it was @vDanDesign who asked in the press conference of #JESC 2023 (!) about why these languages were the ones used for the Junior Eurovision voting interface.
Was told it would be looked into afterwards.
BUT IT HASN’T CHANGED!
Indefensible laziness from organisers.
Tonight is #jesc2026 in Malta.
I have written just a handful of articles about this contest in the build up that hopefully gives you something extra to think about through the 150 minute broadcast
3 - An investigation into the time change for Junior Eurovision making this the latest ever start for the show.
What can JESC benefit from this, and what are the downsides?
Who does this benefit in terms of viewing opportunity, and on the scoreboard?

Spain is the only competitor that benefits from the 21:00 CEST start time in terms of getting kids to watch Junior Eurovision
Expect Spain to win the public vote.
The repercussions for a good result will be igniting conversations about participating in May
No solo a las 23.59h ha salido un pop-up que indicaba que se abrían votaciones, es que TODO el bloque de anuncios lleva la promo para votar a Lucas.
¡Maravilla! #JESC2026
This looks really amazing, a really sensible agenda adn focus points, and I would love to be there and tell those stories.
There's much to critique about #Eurovision at the moment, but that is exactly how such a day should look.
Been asked by a few people how I found the EBU Brand Report on #eurovision
At the bottom of this link is a tab where it can be downloaded
ebu.ch/research/loginonly/re…
The ad value of #eurovision as highlighted by its own Brand Impact Report has dropped to 73% of its 2024 level in the past two years.
This from the #eurovision Brand Impact Report is ridiculous.
Shows countries with more viewers in 2023 have higher interpersonal trust.
Social trust stats favour Nordics, which dominate viewing % anyway (especially so in 2023)
Embarrassing of EBU report to suggest correlation
I need to write a top 10 article of feel good stories from #eurovision history.
The benefit of KAJ winning #melfest and what that did for local pride in #Vörå has to be one of them
Considering we lost broadcasters, more watched online, the songs weren’t stellar (especially from the bigger population nations), this isn’t so crazy.
We knew it would be a rough year.
Viewing share drop of 5% the most key stat. Of that 5% only a part will be boycott based.
Bulgaria won #eurovision 2026
It is, arguably, the biggest shock winner of all time at the Song Contest.
Here's my article showing how 'Bangaranga' turned from mid-table wannabe to a winner by a record ever margin within the space of four days in Vienna
