It's all based on the European Broadcasting Area, which was a region defined in the 1800s based on telegraph lines. The name stuck.

It includes both shores of the Mediterranean. I agree it's confusing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europea...

The EBU's mebership area includes North Africa and the Middle East. Jordan, Libya, Tunisia, and Morocco all have EBU member networks that are eligible to participate in Eurovision. They choose not to.
