Eurovision posts jury and televote videos

The European Broadcasting Union’s Eurovision Song Contest channel posted two separate YouTube videos on May 16 breaking out the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final results into jury voting and public televoting. The uploads appeared on the official Eurovision YouTube channel under the titles “The Jury Results of Eurovision 2026 | Grand Final | #UnitedByMusic” and “Public Vote - The Televote Results of Eurovision 2026 | Grand Final | #UnitedByMusic.” Both video descriptions said they contained the full announcement of their respective voting segments from the Grand Final. The contest’s official site also identified May 16 as the date of the Vienna 2026 Grand Final. ### Which videos did Eurovision post? The official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel posted the jury-results video and the televote-results video as separate uploads tied to the 2026 Grand Final. The jury clip’s title says it is “The Jury Results of Eurovision 2026,” while the second says it is “Public Vote - The Televote Results of Eurovision 2026.” The descriptions on both uploads use nearly identical wording. The jury video says it is “the full announcement of the jury vote” at the 2026 Grand Final, and the televote video says it is “the full announcement of the public vote” at the same show. (youtube.com) ### When were the uploads posted? YouTube’s page snippets for both videos showed them as newly posted on May 16. In the crawl snapshots, the jury-results video was listed as having been posted minutes earlier, and the televote video was also listed as having been posted minutes earlier. (youtube.com) Eurovision’s official website separately said the Grand Final of the 70th Eurovision Song Contest was scheduled for Saturday, May 16, in Vienna. That places the two uploads on the same date as the final itself. (youtube.com) ### What do the two videos show separately? The jury video isolates the sequence in which national juries’ points are announced during the Grand Final. The televote video isolates the later segment in which public-vote totals are revealed. (youtube.com) That split mirrors Eurovision’s two-part scoring system, with professional juries and viewers each contributing points that are announced separately during the show. The wording matters because Eurovision did not package the tally only as one final-results clip. (eurovision.tv) Instead, the official channel published the two voting blocks as standalone videos that viewers can replay without watching the full broadcast again. That is evident from the separate titles and descriptions on the two uploads. ### How quickly were people watching them? The official Eurovision channel had 7.76 million subscribers when the pages were crawled. (youtube.com) The jury-results video showed about 4,026 views roughly 14 minutes after posting, while the televote video showed about 10,317 views roughly 19 minutes after posting. Those figures were early snapshots from YouTube and can change as the platform updates counts. The pages nonetheless showed immediate traffic to both result segments soon after publication.

Vienna hosted the 2026 contest, according to Eurovision’s official site, which described the event as the 70th Eurovision Song Contest. The same site linked the Grand Final running order and promoted the official app and other Vienna 2026 coverage around the event. (youtube.com) The official Eurovision website says viewers can use eurovision.com and the Eurovision app for contest updates and related content. (youtube.com) The two result videos now sit alongside that broader Vienna 2026 material on Eurovision’s owned platforms. The Eurovision YouTube channel continues to host the two May 16 uploads as standalone records of the Grand Final’s scoring reveal. Eurovision’s official site also continues to carry Vienna 2026 pages, including Grand Final-related coverage and participant information. (eurovision.tv) (youtube.com)
