OMNI Television is not the first broadcaster to show The Eurovision Song Contest on their channel. Back in 2014, OUTtv, a television channel which primarily focuses on LGBT programming, broadcast the contest to Canada for the first time, and returned again in 2015. Both contests were broadcast with a delay, and were available to watch in June.
