It's time for the premiere of the American Song Contest and in 8 weeks competitions will be held with a historic final on Monday 9th May.
The competitions will also be shown in the Nordics but not live, which is bad of course.
Finland: Tuesday evenings
Norway: Saturday evenings
Denmark: Tuesday evenings
Sweden: Wednesday evenings 18:00 on SVTPlay and TV Saturdays. But that can change, I hope. There actually is a lot of Swedes who have created the whole competition in the USA; Peter Settman, Christer Björkman, Anders Lenhoff and Ola Melzig.
NBC broadcasts the programs (Swedish time) 01:00 the night before Tuesday the first week and 02:00 the following weeks.
