AleziRadio Festival of Songs 1978 is the twenty-first edition of the annual AleziRadio Festival of Songs. The competition is held by the authorities in Radio Pyalivostok. This is the sixth time that Pyalivostok hosted the event, after doing so in 1959, 1962, 1965, 1968, and 1970, after Aziz Goridagyev Novogrody won for the third time representing Pyalivostok last year.
The City of Pyalivostok is the coldest capital city in Mainland North Alezia and the second coldest capital city (after Aaren, Daya Island) in the entirety of North Alezia.During the year of the competititon, the city of Pyalivostokgrad reportedly have 1,332,381 people living in it according to the latest survey.
Krakovisech Theatre and Performing Arts Centre, which is located near the crossroads of Makovich St. and Novoldenyy' St. Was able to host around 1,200 attendees which sees no reduction since the space for the orchestra pit and the scrutineer spot has been prepared due to the fact that the place has hosted ARFOS before in 1959. Previously called only Krakovisech Theatre, the building was expanded in 1975 with hosting ARFOS in mind making them look like an easy choice for any time that Pyalivostok was given the right to host the competition.
This year saw the return of the previous 1-5 point system, however, it was updated to add another public voting group to the competition. From this year onwards, North Alezian regions and territories shall be divided in two so postal services can be relaxed and so it won't put a strain on other essential usage of the Alezians' local postal office.
The AleziRadio Team initiated the plan so that each year, the postal office who handled public votes for ARFOS shall be different as long as it stayed on its ARFOS' regional classification.
And for the first time, AleziRadio Festival of Songs was broadcasted live on AleziRadio Television Programme One nationwide. During this time, television usage skyrocketed with 1,7 million television sets (from the total of 2,4 million television sets in North Alezia at the time) recorded tuning in to the festival. However, the live broadcast while innovative, was met with criticism for frequency problems, occasionally disrupting people from watching performances in full. This would end up being fixed next year.
