New Year’s Eve ball drop live stream: Watch online
There are several New Year’s Eve celebrations happening in New York, and this live stream reveals how you can watch all of the action online for free.
New Year’s Eve is the night to stay in and catch all of the action live from New York’s famed Times Square. Between live performances and special celebrity appearances, there’s lots to see on four major networks. Here’s what you need to know to watch all of the celebrations online.
Between ABC, NBC, FOX and CNN there will be plenty of performances to watch along with tons of commentary and reflections on 2018 and hopes for 2019.
One of the most famed New Year’s Eve celebrations is ABC’s presentation of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. Once upon a time Dick Clark played host to the festivities and used his American Bandstand connections to land the biggest acts to perform on his program. Ryan Seacrest has taken over following Dick Clark’s passing, but the show continues to dazzle year after year.
Another must-watch broadcast will be on CNN as Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen team up. Cohen takes over for Kathy Griffin, who was fired from the hosting job following her presidential gaffe a few years ago.
