Want to skip the actual televised broadcasts of the New Year’s Eve fun? You can miss the hoopla and watch a live stream of the titular ball instead.
The end of the year is here, so you know what that means. Overly priced, throw-away, glasses with the new year as the frames, awfully designed hats that are always wet and stick, as well as lots of drinking and dumb jokes. That’s just your semi-racist grandmother’s party too. There are millions of people in this country and maybe even hundreds of millions of people around the world that tune into televised broadcasts of the festivities.
Somehow they’re always hosted by Carson Daly. He’s in six places at once, interviewing four people and silently judging you all at once. What if Daly, Steve Harvey, and others though aren’t your cup of tea? What if you want less pomp and more circumstances. Maybe you’re with a small group of people having a great conversation, or at a concert? You might still want to watch the ball dropping, but where can you do so online, without the need to hear people talking about “what a great year 2019” was. Shut up, Andy Cohen, it wasn’t.
Well you can watch the stream of the ball dropping on your computer, television, mobile device or what have you thanks to a special website, you can do just that. Simply go to Timessquareball.net in order to watch not ONE but TWO different streams of the ball. Both are active at this moment and you can see New York City preparing for the big night as we speak.
The site will properly stay active past the celebration so if you’re ever feeling a little down and want to see some of New York City live and in living color, it’s probably going to be interesting to check back periodically to see if it’s still active in between the 11+ months that it’s not needed.
