@anotherspinelessdem Yes, it has to do with a broadcasting union:

"Active members include media organisations whose broadcasts are often made available to at least 98% of households in their own country which are equipped to receive such transmissions.[51] Associate member broadcasters may be eligible to compete, dependent on approval by the contest's reference group."

Australia is a special exception. Ref:
