Telenor sponsors Eurovision Song Contest

125 million viewers expected to watch finale, broadcast live from Telenor Arena.

On Saturday, 29 May, 125 million people across Europe and beyond will be watching the annual Eurovision Song Contest. Last year, Norwegian Alexander Rybak was crowned the winner, and Norway was deemed host of the 2010 event. Telenor Arena was selected as the best venue for the show, with the Telenor Group taking the reigns as the presenting partner. As the main sponsor, Telenor serves as the mobile phone partner and distributor of the show. Telenor is also working closely with the Norwegian National Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), the host broadcaster, to produce this live event. Part of the Telenor Group sponsorship is to ensure that the 2,500 journalists expected to attend are welcomed by a superior technical infrastructure. Telenor provides journalists with Internet access, technical support and free calling minutes upon their arrival at Telenor Arena.
