Switzerland: 160 songs in the running for Eurovision 2017 so far

SRF has revealed that a total of 160 songs have been submitted to compete in the Swiss preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. A jury will now select 20 songs that will go on to a live audition round.

After that phase, up to 10 songs will remain for the actual national final in Switzerland. This show will be broadcast on the 5th of February. The audition for the jury of 21 persons will take place on the 4th of December.

Switzerland has removed the online voting platform from their selection process. The Swiss are slightly changing their selection process this year after a couple of bad results, having failed to make it to the final since 2014.
