Still, it's a start. Yakima and Tri-Cities are boring for midnight festivities. Tri-Cities has a little celebration called 'First Night Tri-Cities' yet the fireworks begin at 9p local (East Coast midnight). Makes no sense to me. I'd love if KING would syndicate the 'Needle' to KGW/KREM since NWCN isn't around, and work with Sinclair or Cowles to bring it to KIMA or KNDO. I know that will never happen.

For 95 years, the AdAmAn Club has been shooting off fireworks at midnight New Year's Eve after a long climb to the top of Pikes Peak. For 65 years, since the inception of TV service in Colorado Springs, (AFAIK) no station has seen fit to broadcast these fireworks, and this year won't be any different. Except this year, we happen to be one of the lucky few on our block that can watch from our new-to-us house.

Palm Springs KMIR will carry the Palm tree drop from Palm Springs. KESQ does the network (Dick Clark/ Ryan Seacreast Times Square one. Fox has a network special of their own. After checking TV guide listings for several markets, NBC and CBS does not have a special network one of there own any more and each station does their own thing.
I hope to God the Nexstar New Year’s Eve bash won’t fail...unlike Jamie Kennedy’s a few years ago (no need to explain even further).
i wonder how many outdoor New Year's Eve events across most the country have been canceled due to extreme cold. i know while this event is not a televised New Year's Eve event, but in Fort Worth, TX, they (the city that is) canceled their outdoor New Year's Eve celebration event at Sundance Square in Downtown Fort Worth due to the North Texas area being affected by this Arctic cold snap that is being caused by a weak polar vortex pattern (the infamous causes of big cold waves that happened in the US for the last few Winters now.) which has resulted in really vold freezing air to sag to as far south to where the freezing temps are gonna be experience in states known for having warmer winters then the North. in fact high temps for the DFW area are gonna be in low the 20s to low 30s for the next couple of days with night time lows in the teens with possible single digit wind chills.
Omaha moved their fireworks to next week due to negative temperatures. Sundance Square isn't the same celebration as 'Lone Star NYE' on KXAS, right? I hope that won't be cancelled. 30 degrees expected tonight in Seattle as they prepare for the Space Needle fireworks. 15F right now in Times Square, where it could be single-digits at the ball drop. That's not stopping the 1,000,000+ who pack in to watch!
Is NBC still doing the Carson Daly New Years vehicle or did they give it up with the poor ratings.
They didn't schedule it this year because of Sunday Night Football. Then the NFL announced last week they were cancelling The Sunday Night Football game on NBC this week. They said all NFL Games on Sunday would start at 1:05 or 4:25.

Update KHON Hawaii and KOIN Oregon are also airing New Years 2018 from Las Vegas produced by Nexstar's KLAS-TV besides KRON San Francisco. This is probably for Nexstar's West Coast Division. I know Nexstar's Texas division is airing the New Years celebration from Dallas.

KSEE and KGET are the other Nexstar owned stations on the West Coast airing KLAS's coverage of New Years from Las Vegas.

Good thing it wasn't scheduled. Otherwise you might have had affiliates pre-empting NBC's prime-time filler programming with infomercials, then coming back to the NBC feed from infomercials -- basically building an audience from zero (not counting the brain-dead subhumanoids who were watching the hucksters) -- for Daly's New Year's blast.
Judging by the ratings nobody was ever watching Daly.
I like the new combo of Anderson & Andy on CNN. They're funny but more professional IMO. They quieted down and aired the natural crowd noise of the ball drop, Auld Lang Syne and New York, New York which was nice. WJZ aired a nice fireworks show on Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Not sure how many years that has aired, probably since the millennium or earlier.
Lone Star NYE had a good fireworks show on Reunion Tower in Dallas, but it was quicker than some of the other major-city fireworks shows. They had a live band doing some music before and after the fireworks.
Over to Mountain time where KTVB Boise streamed the Potato Drop, which started dropping about 20 seconds to midnight. Then some fireworks and poof - into an infomercial! Seriously, they don't have the time to air the whole show?
Once again, the Space Needle was a beautiful show especially the end. No fog to ruin it and a good online feed from KING-5 Seattle with Jim Dever and some woman hosting (can't remember her name). I miss the now-defunct NWCN which used to feed the show to the rest of the Northwest, but the stream will have to do nowadays.
I am glad Mariah Carey's performance went well on Rockin' Eve, after the embarrassment that was NYRE '17. But once again, KAPP/KVEW fails to do their part. At 11:59 they aired the whole ball drop without cutting into Pendleton. In fact the only segments were in local breaks and some of them seemed...'prerecorded' I'd say. Booooo, 35/42! A local countdown would have been nice even on side-screen, a live band was going to play Auld Lang Syne and drop 1,200 balloons in the Wildhorse ballroom at midnight, but not a soul outside of Pendleton saw it. Shows you how sad Central Washington is for television, they don't care about serving the community outside of newscasts.
