GRANDVISION
Grandvision
is part of the Grand Broadcasting Union, itself founded in 2014 as a system of international broadcasting cooperation. Grandvision was set up for the purpose of exchanging TV programmes and, subsequently, TV news footage (via the daily Grandvision news exchange - GVN).
It has a radio counterpart in Granddradio.
Grandvision is managed by the Grand Broadcasting Union’s Grand Operations Department and offers permanent coverage of Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, North Africa and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as ad-hoc coverage of the African continent and the Pacific Rim.
Grandvision TV transmissions may be recognised by the Grandvision logo and the opening theme of John Newman´s Love me Again although most contributed items, such as international relays of sports events, including the Olympics, are not thus credited and the general public is therefore mostly unaware of Grandvision´s involvement.
High-profile Grandvision events are the annual Grandvision Song Contest (organised since 2014) .

Grand Broadcasting Union , GBU
GBU is an alliance of public service media entities, established on the 19th December 2014. It is best known for producing the Grandvision Song Contest.
Members of the GBU are radio and television companies, most of which are government-owned public service broadcasters or privately owned stations with public service missions. Active Members come from as far north as Iceland and as far south as Egypt, from Ireland in the west and Azerbaijan in the east, and almost every nation from geographical Europe in between. Associate Members are from countries and territories beyond Europe. Active Members are those paying GBU members meeting all technical criteria for full membership, whose states are either within the Grand Broadcating Area (GBA) Syria is an example of a country within the GBA not complying with all technical criteria for full membership, and thus it is currently only granted Associated Membership.
The GBU's highest profile production is the Grandvision Song Contest, organised by its Grandvision Network .The theme music played before GBU broadcasts is John Newman's Love me Again.
The GBU Council consists of some HoD´s that are at the Moment:

Grand Broadcasting Area , GBA
The GBA includes territory outside Europe, and excludes some territory that is part of the European continent. For example Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. the only sovereign undisputed territory belonging to the European continent while remaining outside the GBA borders, is 4% of Kazakhstan. While Kazakhstan is excluded from GBA, it is still eligible to apply for membership of the GBU. The Grand Broadcasting Area plays a part in the definition of eligibility for active membership in the Grand Broadcasting Union and thus participation in the Grandvision Song Contest.
- 60 Countries are in the GBA and can join the GBU if they have all criteries
- 60 Countries are in the GBA and can join the GBU if they have all criteries

GRANDVISION SONG CONTEST
The Grandvision Song Contest often shortened to GVSC,Grandvision, or GrandSong, is an annual song competition held among the member countries of the Grand Broadcasting Union (GBU) since 2014.
Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition.
Origins / History
In 2014, the Grand Broadcasting Union (GBU)—based in Germany—gave Users from the Internet the chance to compete with an european Country in this Online Contest which based on the real Eurovision Song Contest. At a committee meeting held in Berlin in December 2014, Supervisor and Director of the GBU conceived the idea of an european song contest where countries would participate in one Online Programme. It was decided that the first contest would take place in Winter 2015 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Format
Participant countries submit songs, which are performed in a Online programme transmitted across the Grandvision Network by the GBU simultaneously to all countries.A "country" as a participant is represented by one television broadcaster from that country: typically, but not always, that country's national public broadcasting organisation. The programme is hosted by one of the participant countries, and the transmission is sent from the auditorium in the host city. During this programme, after all the songs have been performed, the countries then proceed to cast votes for the other countries' songs: nations are not allowed to vote for their own song. At the end of the programme, the winner is declared as the song with the most points. The winner receives, simply, the prestige of having won—although it is usual for a trophy to be awarded to the winning songwriters, and the winning country is invited to host the event the following year.
Participants
Eligible participants include Active Members (as opposed to Associate Members) of the GBU. Active members are those who are located in states that fall within the GBA.If an GBU Active Member wishes to participate, they must fulfill conditions as laid down by the rules of the contest.The maximum are 46 Countries in one Edition.
RULES
Numerous detailed rules must be observed by the participating nations.
For instance the rules specify various deadlines, including the date by which all the participating broadcasters must submit the final recorded version of their song to the EBU. The rules also cover sponsorship agreements and rights of broadcasters to re-transmit the show.
Voting
Each country ranks all the entries in their Semi Final / Grand Final, with twelve points given to the first choice, ten points to second, and from eight down to one point for third to tenth place, with the point values decreasing respectively. Countries are not allowed to vote for themselves.The current method for ranking entries is a 50/50 combination of both telephone vote and the votes of juries (Split Voting [Users have to send Televotes and Jur Votes)
For the announcement of the votes, the presenters of the Contest connect by satellite to each country in turn, inviting the spokesperson to read out that country's votes in French or English.The current tie-breaking rule is that, in the event that two or more countries tie for first place and for other places the song that received points from the greater number of countries is the winner. This system is sometimes called the "count-back". If there is still a tie, the second tie-breaker is to count the number of countries who assigned twelve points to each entry in the tie. Tie-breaks continue with ten points, eight points, and so on until the tie is resolved.

Presentation of the Results
After the interval act is over, when all the points have been calculated, the presenter(s) of the show call upon each voting country in turn to invite them to announce the results of their vote.Often the opportunity is taken by each country to show their spokesperson standing in front of a backdrop which includes a famous place in that country. For example, the French spokesperson might be seen standing in front of the Eiffel Tower.All Votes are presented by a electronic Scoreboard.The countries that did not make it to the final each year could also vote.
Broadcasting
Each participating broadcaster is required to broadcast the show in its entirety: including all songs, recap, voting and reprise, skipping only the interval act for advertising breaks if they wish.
BIG 5
Because the Semi Finals may have a high number of Participants,the GBU invited the Rule that the Top 5of the previous Edition are auto. in the final.It depends on the Number of Participants each Edition.
Semi Final / Grand Final
All participating countries have had to participate in the semi-finals.The only countries which automatically qualify for the grand final are the host country and the Big Five.In each of the semi-finals the voting is conducted among those countries which participate in that semi-final. With regard to the automatic grand final qualifiers, who do not participate in the semi-finals, a draw is conducted to determine in which semi-final each of them will be allowed to vote. In contrast, every participating country in a particular edition may vote in the grand final – whether their song qualified for the final or not.After the votes have been cast in each semi-final, the countries which received the most votes will therefore proceed to the grand final.Full voting results are withheld until after the grand final, whereupon they are published on the GBU's website.
The Grand Final consists of :
-The Big 5
- Host Country
- 10 Qualifiers of the 1st Semi Final
-10 Qualifiers of the 2nd Semi Final
