I have always enjoyed watching the various New Years celebrations around the world, and was wondering where I should park my Ku dish to try and catch some feeds?
 
Here you go...

FEED #2: LIVE NEW YEAR'S EVE COVERAGE OF TIMES SQUARE 2012
Live coverage of the Times Square 2012 festivities with exclusive panoramic views of Times Square and the giant crystal New Year’s Eve Ball from proprietary camera locations and the ambient and natural sounds of the revelers, including hourly countdowns to midnight, the 6pm lighting and raising of the New Year’s Eve Ball, interactive activities with the revelers, live musical performances (including Cee Lo Green’s rendition of John Lennon’s “Imagine,” Diego Torres and the Broadway cast of “Rock of Ages”), and special guest Lady Gaga leading the sixty second countdown at midnight with Mayor Bloomberg. This clean, uninterrupted feed will be provided free of charge to media organizations around the world on a non-exclusive basis solely for their use in creating television programming relating to the event. Additional information, including a detailed schedule of events and talent, will be announced shortly at Times Square Alliance : New Year's Eve.
 
It might be worth checking some of the Eastern European channels on 97W through the afternoon. I think Russia is 8 hours ahead of us, for example.
