The Czech Republic debuted in 2007 at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Originally they wanted to participate in 2005 but eventually withdrew because there were already two big events planned that year on Czech television. The following year, they didn't apply because their candidate had to start in the semi final, and could not be sure to qualify for the final.
However, on 19 April 2006, the national broadcaster Česká televize decided that they would enter the contest in 2007.
The first ever Czech entrant was chosen in TV final through SMS. It was one of the most popular Czech rock bands, Kabát, with the song Malá dama (Little Lady). However their debut was not successful as it came very last in the semi-final, garnering just 1 point, from Estonia.
Eurovision is mostly known as Eurosong in Czech.
