What is the name of the televised U.S. New Year's Eve program hosted for many years by Dick Clark?

The televised U.S. New Year's Eve program hosted for many years by Dick Clark is Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.

The program debuted on NBC in 1972 as a youthful alternative to more formal New Year's broadcasts. It moved to ABC in 1974, where Dick Clark became its defining host and executive producer. The show combined live performances, reports from Times Square, and a countdown to midnight.

Clark hosted the program for decades, including after a 2004 stroke, when he returned to the broadcast in a reduced role. Ryan Seacrest later became the principal host, and the title was expanded to include Clark's name as a tribute.

The broadcast is not the same thing as the Times Square celebration itself. It is a television production that carries images and reports from the public event while adding performances from other locations. Its title is also commonly shortened to New Year's Rockin' Eve.
