You'd never know it today, but "Eurovision" as a term was originally coined to refer to the new broadcasting network capable of pushing the same feed to multiple counties' own networks simultaneously. That is to say, it's fully called the Eurovision Song Contest, because it's a song contest that's broadcast on the Eurovision network. The network is actually still used for a lot of stuff today, particularly live sports.
