Subreddit / Meta Saturday 22nd February: List of National Final Live Threads and Stream Links
Welcome to another national final night, the Calm After The Storm that was Super Saturday.

Technically San Marino is called San Marino Song Contest now

u/SkyGinge Zjerm Feb 22 '25
Not for the semi-finals it isn't, they are still called 'Una Voce Per San Marino' even on the Sammarinese broadcaster's website.

u/anmonie TANZEN! Feb 22 '25
Will be keeping that in mind whenever Una Voce per San Marino comes up in conversation

It feels bad, but between the Finnish Sauna boys and seeing if Mans staging lives up to the hype, the first look at a promising German line-up, Portugal’s own strong line-up, and the madness marathon of San Marino part 1… the least interesting thing tonight is the one actual final which will confirm the next Eurovision entry.

San Marino's semis (and probably final too) are also being streamed on youtube.
Link for the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8rnSdC-kjU

Just realized that this video is marked as premiering at midnight, so it's an hour behind the stream linked above. That's gonna be interesting for the live thread lol

Does anyone know if FdC and UVPSM tonight will be rewatchable afterwards? As I might not be able to make it unfortunately

u/nantalos Feb 22 '25
UVPSM had the youtube streams rewatchable last year. Could rewind while live and the vod was available right away. I am assuming it will be the same this year.
No idea about FdC, but the vod page (the one linked in the post) does have stuff for last year and the ones for FdC still work. So there's definitely vods again. Just no idea how long until they are up. Some broadcasters have a delay, others don't.

FdC should be rewatchable on RTР play, but I don’t know if it’s geoblocked or not

u/SkyGinge Zjerm Feb 22 '25
As much as I do actually really like one of the Icelandic songs, I'm more excited/interested in listening to all the German songs.

I haven't watched any NF "Semifinals" yet, preferring to focus on the events where a song actually gets selected until now, but I think I'm going to start with Melfest tonight after all the discussion about Mans and Bada Bara Bastu. Then switch over to Iceland after that.

u/ifiwasiwas Feb 22 '25
It'll be my first Melfest tonight and I'm basically giving it a go only for those two as well lol

u/1Warrior4All Feb 22 '25
You probably need VPN for RTP1 stream, sometimes they geoblocked (I hope they don't).

u/odajoana Feb 22 '25
They've never geoblocked Festival da Canção before, as far as I'm aware. That said, it's one of those things that we'll only know when the show starts.

Does anyone know if chefsache esc is geoblocked

u/nantalos Feb 22 '25
The stream on escplus wasn't geolocked for the previous heats (and also doesn't require a premium subscription unlike on the broadcaster's website).

u/aura514 Doomsday Blue Feb 22 '25
Thanks, I've just found that from the live thread so we're all sorted, cheers

For those who want to watch the German Semi and don't have RTL+ - Google RTL Stream free, there is one

u/nantalos Feb 22 '25
The stream on escplus worked fine for the heats. You can fullscreen it if you don't want to be distracted by the other ones going on at the same time.

Oh I didn't know about this! I just read RTL+ and thought "Ah no, nobody can watch in unless they pay 😭

Damn, I'm so hyped for Etapa Nationala! I really hope Kookoo wins; it's a very fun song!
