Granted this was youtube comments but I'm sure last year people were saying Eurovision doesn't actually make a commercial free feed. Hence why the Beeb covered up the Moroccanoil sponsorship with a blue square.

Among the great insights in this podcast interview with BBC Transmission Director Stephen Neal is confirmation that there is now a commercial free feed. Previously (as in before the past couple of years) the Beeb were using masking to cover up sponsorship, but the amount has increased so an alternate version is available for those who need to use it. It also avoids the BBC having to leave the end credits early.
