Malta

Maltese broadcaster PBS has decided to bring back a 50% jury vote in 2018. This means the end of a one-year-experiment with 100% televoting. 

The 16 finalists have been announced in the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2018. PBS announced them live on the evening news (11th October).

The Maltese national final will be held in January 2018. That is the date set out in the TVM MESC 2018 Rules and Regulations document. The venue and exact date are still yet to be confirmed.

Malta will maintain the use of 100% televoting in its national final. Broadcaster PBS revealed today that despite the disappointing result of Claudia Faniello, they will make no changes to the selection process.
