Estonian Gert Kark, the Tallinn-born TV producer who started his career at Terevisioon has been appointed the new Executive Producer of the Eurovision Song Contest. After working nearly a decade behind the scenes at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), he’s now running the production — that will be seen live by 160 million people worldwide. Gert Kark replaces Swedens Martin Österdahl who recently stepped down from the role. This is a great historic achievement for Estonia!
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.
