  • The Eurovision Song Contest 1998 was the 43rd Eurovision Song Contest and was held on 9 May 1998 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, United Kingdom, following Katrina and The Waves' victory in 1997. The presenters were Terry Wogan, the usual UK commentator at the time and Ulrika Jonsson, a Swedish-born ex-weather woman. Despite being one of the presenters, Terry Wogan still managed to provide his trademark comedy commentary to the contest for the BBC. 1998 was also the year where the three chevrons of the EBU logo had to be included in the actual contest logo of the year. This also happened in 1999, but before 1998 in 1994, the colours of the chevrons had to be included.
