The United Kingdom entered the Junior Eurovision Song Contest three times, and the broadcaster was ITV, which is known by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as UKIB. Tom Morley (2003) and Cory Spedding (2004) sang both for the peace in the world and Joni Fuller (2005) described her feelings. The UK holds the third highest number of total points: 140 points in 2004. In 2003, the contest was broadcast on the main channel ITV, relegating it to ITV2 for the next two years due to bad viewing figures, before their complete withdrawal in 2006. The 2004 contest originally should have been organised by ITV in Manchester. ITV then announced in May 2004 that due to financial and scheduling reasons, the contest would not take place in the United Kingdom after all. It is also thought that another factor to their decision was the previous years' audience ratings for ITV which were below the expected amount. ==Possible return== The Welsh broadcaster Sianel Pedwar Cymru (S4C) had shown interest in participating for the UK in 2008, hoping to share the Welsh language with a wider audience. The contest would therefore be a bilingual broadcast that would be broadcast in Wales on analogue, and on S4C Digidol in the rest of the UK. In the end, S4C chose not to broadcast the contest. The United Kingdom thought of returning to the contest in 2010, with the BBC instead of ITV, but decided against it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United Kingdom in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
