The Co-Organizers of the Ball Drop Are Offering HD Satellite and Fiber Feeds of the Celebration From Times Square

The co-organizers of the famous Ball Drop are once again offering HD satellite and fiber feeds of the celebration from Times Square, New York, as well as behind-the-scenes preparations leading up to the big night on December 3 (Wishing Wall), December 11 (Numeral Arrival), December 26 (Numeral Installation atop One Times Square), December 27 (Crystal Installation), December 28 (Good Riddance Day), December 29 (Confetti Test) and December 30 (Ball Test and Balloon Preparation). NEW for the 2020 celebration is the offering of social media-ready content of these preparations, including photos and short videos with background music and captions.

The 12/31 live feeds are clean and uninterrupted with no bug or logo. They are available free of charge to domestic and international media organizations and will feature exclusive panoramic views from proprietary camera locations with the ambient and natural sounds of The Revelers, showcasing the lighting and raising of the famous New Year's Ball, hourly countdowns, musical performances (performers TBA in December) and of course, the famous Ball Drop at midnight.

Information for the live, broadcast feed of the New Year's Eve celebration on December 31 and the downloadable pre-New Year's Eve footage and social content is available online: https://www.timessquarenyc.org/times-square-new-years-eve/media-press/new-years-eve-pool-feed-information.

The event organizers have also partnered with Livestream once again to offer an international webcast of the event. The host and street correspondents (TBA in December) will cover the action in Times Square, including the hourly countdowns, ball raising ceremony, stage and musical performances and interview special guests. The webcast is being made available for media outlets, webmasters and bloggers to embed on their own websites and Facebook pages.
