Before Eurovision
National final
The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) held a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1992. Ten songs competed.
Swiss Italian broadcaster Televisione svizzera di lingua italiana (TSI) staged the national final on 23 February 1992 at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano. It was hosted by Alessandra Marchese.
The winner decided through the votes of three regional juries, an expert jury and a press jury. The winner of the contest was "Soleil, soleil" by Géraldine Olivier. However after the contest the song was disqualified after it was revealed that it was inputted into the French-speaking broadcaster, Télévision suisse romande (TSR), for their pre-selection for the contest with French lyrics and was rejected, before being entered into the German-speaking broadcaster, Schweizer Fernsehen der deutschen und rätoromanischen Schweiz (SF DRS), and its pre-selection for the contest with German lyrics and accepted. Therefore the song that came second, "Mister Music Man" by Daisy Auvray went to Eurovision.
