The 2000 New Year's Eve event known as 2000 Today was a coordinated global celebration broadcast from multiple time zones.
Produced for the arrival of the year 2000, 2000 Today linked live coverage from countries as midnight moved westward around the planet. The program was organized by the BBC and involved broadcasters and production partners in many locations, presenting celebrations, performances, and reports from successive time zones.
The broadcast reflected the unusual global attention given to the millennium transition. It was not simply one local countdown repeated internationally; its structure followed the Earth's rotation and moved between celebrations as different regions entered January 1. This made time zones a central part of both the production and the story.
The event is sometimes confused with Millennium Live, a separate New Year's Eve concert and broadcast associated with the celebrations in London. 2000 Today refers specifically to the international television project, while other millennium programs covered particular cities or countries.
