| André Vermeulen |
André Vermeulen, learnt yesterday that he would not be returning to commentate for VRT at the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen. The Het Journaal reporter who has covered the Eurovision Song Contest for the Dutch speaking region of Belgium, was reportedly disappointed but not surprised.
Vermeulen first commentated on the Contest back in 1991, when it was held in Rome, he would continue this role for another 22 years, only missing one contest in 1996 for unknown reasons. He has since gained the name in Belgium as "Professor Eurosong". Since 2010, he has commentated on the contest live from Brussels due a cut back VRT made.
However it is not the end of the road for Vermeulen and Eurovision, he will report news coverage from the Contest during the weeks leading up to Eurovision. His replacement were announced yesterday: Peter Van de Veire and Eva Daeleman who also hosted the Eurosong final this year.
