Latvia: LTV was saved by sponsors

The reason for the last minute decision for Latvia to be present at the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, was due to a number of generous sponsors.

Latvian State Television (LTV) has enough money to be able to participate reports LETA. This week, LTV intends to announce how the Latvian contender will be selected, i.e. song and vocalist(s).

Latvia has competed in "Eurovision" since the year 2000 when "BrainStorm" (Prata vetra) took third prize for the song "My Star".

As reported, LTV was forced to make alterations in programming due to the LVL 2.4 million reduction in its state subsidy for 2009, and its "Eurovision" project was eliminated.
