The European Broadcasting Area (EBA) is defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as such:
The EBA includes territory outside Europe, and excludes some territory that is part of the European continent. For example, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia were defined as outside the EBA borders until 2007.[2] After the EBA was expanded by the 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07) to include those three countries,[1] the only ITU member state with territory in Europe while remaining outside the EBA is Kazakhstan.
The boundaries of the European Broadcasting Area have their origin in the regions served and linked by telegraphy cables in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The European Broadcasting Area plays a part in the definition of eligibility for active membership in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and thus participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. As of February 2022,[update] the European Broadcasting Union has 66 members from 55 countries, 31 associates from 20 countries, and 8 approved participants.[3]
