Kyriakos Gold, Presenter Eurovision News

SBS Radio’s Kyriakos Gold brings his outstanding broadcasting talent and passion for Eurovision to the news desk to present Eurovision News from Malmo, daily on SBS Eurovision Radio.

Kyriakos was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1976 to Greek - Australian parents. He moved to Australia 1994 and has been working with local and international media ever since.

He grew up watching Eurovision and remembers celebrating every moment of it. In fact he has watched Eurovision for 30 years in a row and claims to be the Oz record holder. The first years that he lived in Australia, before broadband, he would go to the university library and dial up to watch the finals. In fact one year, he listened to the final over the phone.

Kyriakos first joined SBS Radio in 2002. He's studied Music and Violin at the State Conservatorium of Northern Greece, International and Culture studies at the University of Adelaide (BIntSt), Modern Greek at the University of Sydney and completed his postgraduate studies at RMIT University in Law (Juris Doctor) and Business Administration (MBA exec). He currently studies Legal Practice at the Australian National University. He is a NAATI accredited interpreter and has completed Journalism seminars at AFTRS. He has been awarded the "Greek News Prize" from the University of Adelaide and he is the current holder of the "Emily Mc Pherson Scholarship" at RMIT University.


Alistair Birch, On Location Reporter

Alistair will be in Malmö recording interviews with all 39 contestants in their own language – filing interviews in all 26 different languages to be featured on SBS Radio language programs.
He has been bringing Eurovision to Australia for longer than he cares to remember.
 
At the Athens 2006 contest he scored an exclusive interview with Jane Comerford, the Australian lead singer of the German country-western band Texas Lightning.

In 2009 Alistair made headlines again in Moscow by getting Alexander Rybak to admit he wasn’t the best singer right in the Song Contest - right after Alexander had just won the Eurovision for Norway.
Last year Alistair discovered Melanie the Wind Machine Operator for Australia, interviewing her first for SBS German and then helping arrange the interview in English for SBS TV which became the most popular web video of the 2012 season.

"I only speak three languages myself, so I rely on my colleagues at the SBS language desks back in Melbourne and Sydney to help write the questions. The challenge is to make the in-language interviews sound natural and interesting for the listeners back home."
His speciality is recording the secret music of the Eurovision – with almost forty talented artists gathered together there are is a lot of music performed over and beyond the actual contest entries and we will be bringing you the best of this on SBS Eurovision Radio.
