TeliaSonera, which is the main sponsor, launches supercharged.eurovision.tv, a website for all Eurovision Song Contest fans across Europe. Everything about the Eurovision Song Contest is collected here - both from social media and our own exclusive material.
The event is one of the largest in Europe, an experience people want to share with each other. Using our international network and technical expertise, we want to make the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 the most engaging, shared and connected ever.
- This year we are loading the Eurovision Song Contest with an interactive website where everyone can gather and share content with each other. Here is our unique, self-produced material, such as interviews and live broadcasts with various artists, as well as tweets, pictures, films and all the latest about the artists, says Piret Mürk Dubout, who is responsible for the project.
From May 11, TeliaSonera also broadcasts directly from a studio on Gustav Adolfs Torg in Malmö. All participating artists come here and everything is shown on supercharged.eurovision.tv.
In addition to cameras in the studio, there are cameras on the main stage, backstage at the Malmö arena and a mobile camera team that captures exciting things. The content is sent from the studio in Malmö to a studio in Stockholm via TeliaSoneras 100 Gbit/second fast fiber cable and then broadcast on supercharged.eurovision.tv, Youtube, Telia Digital TV and Spotify.
- The Eurovision Song Contest is one of the biggest TV events in Europe with over 125 million viewers. As one of the largest IP network providers in the world, we reach over 345 million consumers. With our network and our technology, we aim high and want to reach over 10 million streamed films, images and tweets on supercharged.eurovision.tv, says Piret Mürk Dubout.
In Malmö, TeliaSonera also offers all visitors free WiFi in the Eurovision song area. The mobile network has also been upgraded so visitors can share their experiences with loved ones.
