The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) held a national final to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1976.

Shortly before the final, "Sing mit mir" by Any Spirig was disqualified due to the artist refusing to attend the dress rehearsals as a result of constant technical errors regarding the sound quality.

[4] Swiss Italian broadcaster Televisione svizzera di lingua italiana (TSI) staged the national final on 14 January 1976 at 21:00 CET at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano.

The use of playback was also speculated to have played a role towards their victory, as there were technical issues regarding the sound quality which hindered the audio of the songs that were performed with the orchestra.

[8] On 6 March, it was confirmed that Peter, Sue and Marc would not be disqualified from the contest, as the complaints against their participation only applied to the national final and were found to be untrue, as the trio did not breach said rule regarding playback.
