What is the name of New York City's annual televised Times Square celebration hosted by Dick Clark's production?

New York City’s annual televised Times Square celebration is “Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.”

The program first aired for the 1973 New Year, broadcasting the arrival of 1973 after being recorded on December 31, 1972. Dick Clark served as its longtime host and executive producer, helping make the Times Square ball drop a major television tradition.

The show combines live coverage of the ball drop with musical performances and celebrations from other locations. After Clark’s death in 2012, Ryan Seacrest became the principal host and later executive producer, while other presenters have joined him in different years.

The title has changed slightly over time, but the program is commonly identified by Clark’s name. It should not be confused with the ball drop itself, which is a public event in Times Square whether or not viewers watch the broadcast.
