What is the name of the annual U.S. television special that broadcasts New Year's Eve celebrations from Times Square?

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve is the annual U.S. television special broadcasting New Year's Eve celebrations from Times Square.

The program was created by and originally hosted by Dick Clark. Its first broadcast aired on December 31, 1972, as an alternative to the more formal New Year's programming then associated with television. The show combines live musical performances, celebrity appearances, the Times Square countdown, and coverage of the ball drop.

After Clark’s death in 2012, Ryan Seacrest became the primary host and executive producer. The title retained Clark’s name as part of the program’s established identity, while additional hosts and locations have been added over time.

The television special is not the name of the Times Square event itself. Times Square hosts the public celebration, while the program is the broadcast production that presents it to viewers in the United States and internationally.
