This was conceived during a meeting in Monaco in 1955 by Marcel Bezençon, a Frenchman working for the EBU. In the 1950s, when a war-torn Europe was still rebuilding itself, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) - based in Switzerland - came up with the idea of an international song contest whereby countries would participate in one television programme, to be transmitted simultaneously to all countries of the union. Most countries in Europe have taken part at least once during the Contest's history, and the word "Eurovision" is a household name which is recognised across an entire continent. Over the years, the Song Contest has grown from a mere televisual experiment into an international institution of mammoth proportions. However it has featured a vast, diverse array of songs, including such musical genres as Arab, Balkan, Dance, Folk, Greek, Latin, Metal, Nordic, Pop-rap, Rock, and Turkish. The Contest is historically known for being mainly a bastion of formulaic, orchestrated pop music. Since the year 2000, the Contest has also been broadcast over the Internet with more than 74,000 people in almost 140 countries having watched the 2006 edition online. It has been broadcast around the globe - beyond Europe - to such countries as Australia, Canada, Egypt, Jordan, Hong Kong, India, Korea, New Zealand and the USA even though these countries do not participate. It is also one of the most-watched non-sporting events in the world, with audience figures having been quoted in recent years as anything between 100 million and 600 million internationally. The Contest has been broadcast every year since its inauguration in 1956, and is one of the longest-running television programmes in the world. Each country participates via one of their national EBU-member television stations, whose task it is to select a singer and a song to go forward to represent the country in the international competition. The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual competition held between active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), in which participating countries each submit a song to be performed on live television then proceed to cast votes for the other countries' songs, in order to find the most popular song in the competition.
