Show #129

2022 is here, and after the indulgences of the festive season were back with more indulgences! Well why not? The Triple Play returns, as does our Fan Favourite spot where you choose a contest memory that is special for you! Plus a catch up of the New Year Eurovision news…

Andorra has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest six times, debuting in the 2004 contest and participating every year thereafter until the 2009 contest. As of 2022 the nation remains the only country to have never competed in a grand final, with their best result being a 12th-place finish in the 2007 semi-final and thus failing to qualify. Andorra withdrew from the contest following their 2009 appearance, with the national broadcaster Ràdio i Televisió d’Andorra (RTVA) citing financial difficulties preventing their continued participation, and the country has not entered the contest again since.
