Grateful

The head of the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix team, Morten Thomassen, has notified that there is less publicity about Eurovision songs than before. Much of the reason for this is that NRK chose to cut delfinaleordningen in 2015, where it was arranged several smaller finals around the country.

– It is too early to say. Now we focus on the finals tomorrow and take it from there. But I am very grateful to continue for another year.
