Stations Outside the Eastern Time Zone Broadcasting "New Year's Eve Live" Live?

Are there any FOX stations outside of the Eastern time zone with plans to broadcast "New Year's Eve Live" live this Monday?

It will be live in the central time zone.....delayed everywhere else. Can't imagine why any FOX station out west would dump the Prime-Time Programming just to show the ball drop @ 9pm ::)

My local FOX station in the Central time zone usually did not broadcast "New Year's Eve Live" live. Their broadcasts of the program usually had the lowering of the crystal ball in New York, New Year appear just before 12:00 a.m. (Central time).

There really isn't much need because if someone in the Central, Mountain, or Pacific time zones wants to see the Ball Drop live from Times Square they can tune in to CNN or Fox News.

Fox is actively promoting New Years Eve Live for 11 PM in All time zones (not the usual "11/10C" - 11 Local everywhere), so the answer is most likely No.

And the Denver stations lead off their 10:00 PM newscasts with the ball drop since it happens as their news themes are playing so they have a unique advantage over West Coast stations (Who are stuck in the middle of Primetime at that hour). It's called Breaking News :D

Cheers & 73 :D

I don't know why or whether it is wrong but when searching New Orleans on TV Guide by Zip Code, one of their stations planned (I think it was NBC) planned to show the Ball Drop live, an hour ahead of local Midnight.

Not in the East?

You know, technically the New Year starts where it is Greenwich Mean Time. As a Wikipedia editor that's the time I go by.

At least there.
