The Swedish newspaper Expressen is reporting that SVT wants Petra Mede and Måns Zelmerlöw to host the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest.
According to Expressen it is expected that SVT will have decided on who they want to host the contest in Stockholm by the end of this month. Petra Mede has previously hosted the 2013 contest in Malmo and also co-presented Eurovision’s Greatest Hits with Graham Norton earlier this year, while Mans has never presented the contest.
They added that it is clear now that Sanna Nielsen will not have a presenting role at the 2016 contest due to her recent announcement as the new host of Allsång på Skansen. It is however very possible that Sarah Dawn Finer could have a role in the show, she has previously hosted Melodifestivalen and sang as part of the interval at the 2013 contest.

Good news ! I love Petra ! As far as am concerned that she’s the best hostess of the ESC. And that’s good for Mans 😉
Very good news! I hope only two hosts will do the show, it’s too much I feel with three like 2014 or four like 2015. Theese are my candidates to host:
—Måns Zelmerlöw
—Petra Mede
—Sarah Dawn Finer
I’m longing for the announcement, SVT! 🙂
I’d rather want Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson to host the show! 😀
I want Petra Mede like in 2013 or Alcazar
Sarah Dawn Finer would be the best choice!
And a bit of Lynda Woodruff maybe… 🙂
