Portugal has sent two entries to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, first entering in 2006. Both Portuguese entries finished second-last, and Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP), the Portuguese broadcaster, withdrew after the 2007 Contest, despite high viewing figures.[1] On 28 July 2014, it had been announced that Portugal would return in Marsa, Malta,[2] but on 4 September 2014 it was announced that they wouldn't have taken part after all.[3]
