Internal selection

Cyprus' broadcaster for the Eurovision Song Contest, the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC), announced its intent to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 on 19 May 2023. Originally, CyBC planned to organize a national final to select its entrant; [15] however, the show that was going to be used, Fame Story , was a Greek television show. Due to this, the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT), the Greek public broadcaster, threatened to withdraw from the European Broadcasting Union if no action was taken. [16] As a result, CyBC changed to an internal selection. [17] Kapsis was later announced as the representative on 25 September. [6]
