El Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión es un concurso televisivo de carácter anual, en el que participan intérpretes representantes de las televisiones cuyos países son miembros de la Unión Europea de Radiodifusión. El festival ha sido transmitido cada año desde 1956 (excepto en 2020, cuando fue cancelado por la pandemia de coronavirus que afectó gravemente a Europa), siendo el programa de televisión más antiguo que aún se transmite en el mundo. Es el festival musical con más audiencia, estimada anualmente entre 200 y 600 millones de espectadores. Se transmite en todo el mundo, incluso en países que no participan en él. El festival es históricamente conocido por ser promotor de música pop. Para la edición de 2015, se invitó a Australia a participar en el certamen, lo que supuso que se convierta en el primer miembro asociado de la UER (y no activo) que participa en Eurovisión, así como en el primer país oceánico.
The Afternoon Show is Raidió Teilifís Éireann's former live flagship daytime show. It ran from 2004 until May 2010. The programme was dropped by RTÉ as part of its new season of television in 2010, to be replaced by two afternoon programmes 4 Daily presented by Maura Derrane and The Daily Show hosted by Dáithí Ó Sé and Claire Byrne.
The television show, the last season of which was presented by Sheana Keane and Maura Derrane, was a mix of lifestyle, information and fun items. The show included cookery, fashion, health, fitness, parenting, life-coaching and celebrity gossip. Viewers also had the opportunity to text, phone and e-mail in interjections, views, experiences and opinions, and they were given a chance to win prizes in a daily quiz.
The Afternoon Show had met with a mixed reaction since it first appeared on screens in 2004, presented by Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh and Anna Nolan. This was partly because it replaced the hugely popular show Open House. There was speculation that the show has not proved as successful as its predecessor and that it would not return for a second season. However, a second series began in 2005, although one of the former presenters, Sheana Keane, did not return.
