What is the name of the television special that has aired from Times Square since 1972 and is associated with Dick Clark?

The television special associated with Dick Clark and Times Square is Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.

The program first aired for New Year's Eve 1972–73. Dick Clark hosted the early broadcasts and made the show a major American television tradition by combining live Times Square coverage with popular music performances.

The program was originally created as a competitor to Guy Lombardo's long-running New Year's broadcasts. After Lombardo's broadcasts ended, Clark's show became one of the best-known American television countdown programs.

Ryan Seacrest became the principal host in later years, while Clark continued to appear until his death in 2012. The title has changed over time, but the Times Square ball drop remains its defining visual.
