In Corbettreport 1735 (07/01/2022) they bring up a NATO document [1] and make the point, that the "Eurovision Was Created By NATO" (the quote is from the show notes). Going back to a tweet in 2016 from some twitter account that linked the document,[2] and basically said the same. NATO in 1956 wanted to have a "North Atlantic Festival", as sort of a outreach program - but the document itself says:
"The following is an instance of the publicity value of the project. The North Atlantic Festival project having recently been mentioned in London when the Information Division contacted the BBC Television Service, the latter stated that it would certainly be prepared to see that the programme was retransmitted over the Eurovision network."
So my reading is that this is a different thing. Maybe it is of some use for our article, but at present I don't see how to place this .. I leave it here for the time being. -- Sunvalley (talk) 00:35, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
