Why is the stream behind my clock?

Streaming adds buffering delay, often 10 to 30 seconds.

Can I watch other countries' midnight?

Yes, news channels stream Sydney, Tokyo and London as they happen.

No, the Times Square webcast and many news streams are free.

Where to Watch the New Year Countdown

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): In the US, the best-known countdown is the Times Square ball drop in New York. It airs on ABC's New Year's Rockin' Eve, also on Hulu with live TV, other networks show their own specials, and Times Square streams the ball drop free on its official website and social channels. For other time zones, watch the fireworks from Sydney or London earlier in the evening on news channels and their YouTube streams. TV and streams usually run several seconds to half a minute behind real time, so keep this page open for the exact moment and let the broadcast catch up.
