Not quite sure where to put this but, an interesting vid of how BBC One, VRT1 (Belgium - Flanders), NPO1 (The Netherlands) and BVN (an international channel for Nederland programming) joined the Eurovision Semi-Finals on the dot:

And here we got a similar video with BBC One, Das Erste (Germany), France 2, Rai 1 (Italy), ORF 1 (Austria) and SRF 1 (German speaking part of Switzerland):

Things to note:

[*]Rai joined late and had to play out the Eurovision ident themselves, then crashing into th cold open
[*]Das Erste not just covered up the sponsors on the last three slides of the credits (like the BBC), but also covered the slide with the logos of the BBC, EBU and government sponsors. They never covered up anything in SF1 or the previous years.
