Skavlan is a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skavlan. It premiered in Sweden on Sveriges Television in January 2009, and the first guests to appear on the show were former Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson and his wife Anitra Steen. On 8 May 2009, it was announced that Skavlan had been renewed for a second season. It was also announced that the show would no longer only be produced by SVT in Sweden; Skavlan would now be partly produced in Norway by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The first twelve episodes of Skavlan's second season were produced by SVT in Sweden, and the remaining twelve by NRK in Norway. Skavlan speaks Norwegian and his dialog is therefore subtitled in Swedish in Sweden, even though the two languages are quite similar and mutually intelligible. If the persons being interviewed by Skavlan are Swedish, he often tells them to let him know if they do not understand what he is saying. Swedish novelist Jan Guillou has criticized SVT for subtitling the program, stating "there is no need for that. If the host had been Danish, subtitling would have been necessary, but with a Norwegian host it does not make any sense."

Le Concours Eurovision de la chanson est un événement annuel organisé par l'Union européenne de radio-télévision (UER). Il réunit les membres de l'Union dans le cadre d'une compétition musicale, diffusée en direct et en simultané par tous les diffuseurs participants à la télévision, ainsi qu'à la radio et sur Internet. Appelé communément Eurovision, d'après le réseau télévisé du même nom, il a été inventé par le directeur général de la télévision publique suisse, Marcel Bezençon. Sa toute première édition a eu lieu le 24 mai 1956, à Lugano, en Suisse, avec sept pays participants. Depuis, le Concours s'est tenu chaque année (excepté en 2020, du fait de l'épidémie mondiale de COVID-19). Le nombre de pays participants n'a cessé d'augmenter, passant de sept à une quarantaine au XXIe siècle. À travers les décennies, le Concours a évolué, s'est adapté et réinventé, accompagnant les développements technologiques et musicaux, mais aussi historiques et politiques.
