After the introduction of professional juries in the Final of the Eurovision Song Contest this year, it was decided by the contest's Reference Group that music industry professionals will also get a 50 percent stake in the outcome of the Semi-Finals.

After two independent audits, and in the spirit of transparancy and openess, the European Broadcasting Union is now fulfilling its promise and releases what you've been waiting for; the split jury- and televoting results of the Final of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest!

This year, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) introduced professional juries in all 42 participating countries to take a 50 percent stake in the result of the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest. In total, 210 music industry professionals - five per country - cast their votes and also declared Norway's Alexander Rybak as winner. Eurovision.tv can now exclusively reveal the outcome of the jury vote.

Today, Russian singer and producer Philip Kirkorov has announced that he is withdrawing from the Eurovision Song Contest jury in his country, both as member and chairman. In each of the 42 participating countries, professional juries will determine 50 percent of the outcome. The other 50 percent will be determined by televoters.

Earlier this week, the European Broadcasting Union announced that in the Final of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, professional juries in all participating countries will have 50% influence on the result. Televoters will deliver the other 50% of the outcome.
