Participation history
| |
The participation of Honduras in the OTI Festival began at the third OTI Festival in 1974. The Honduran participating broadcaster was Televisión Nacional de Honduras (TNH), which was member of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI). Since its debut, it only missed the 1975 festival. Its best result in the festival was seventh achieved in 1979, 1980, and 1981.
History
As many Central American countries in the OTI Festival, Honduras didn't really have a successful participation in the contest. In fact, Televisión Nacional de Honduras (TNH) never managed to get a victory during its history in the event, but reached the top ten on six occasions.
In 1974, TNH selected "Río viejo, río amigo" by Moisés Canelo as its first entry, which achieved a respectable ninth place. After a withdrawal in 1975, "Por cantarle al mar" by Wilson Reynoot placed eighth in 1976. In 1978, "Por esas pequeñas cosas" by Domingo Trimarchi also placed eighth. In 1979, "Hermano hispanoamericano" by Gloria Janeth placed seventh.[1] Moisés Canelo returned to the contest in 1980, placing seventh with his song "Tú, siempre tú".[2] One year later, in 1981, "Ven" by Oneyda placed seventh for the third time. Since then, Honduras struggled in the contest and never managed to get a top ten place again.
