Where can I find sponsors for my internet radio show?

Can I stream or listen to a New Year's Eve broadcast/show tonight?

  • After I put the kids to bed tonight, I'd kind of like to sit at my desk, pay some bills, pop open a beer, and keep an eye on the New Year's celebration. Problem is, I don't have cable or broadcast TV. I do have a good internet connection and a radio, but my few attempts to find anything have failed. For example, the major TV networks have streaming but only for cable TV subscribers, and my NPR radio station is switching over to the BBC World Service at 10pm tonight. So, is there some kind of New Year's type of broadcast that I can catch, either on radio or the internet? I also have Netflix and Amazon Prime video, but I don't think that'll help. And it doesn't need to be the Times Square celebration; I'd be equally happy to listen in on a cheesy local broadcast (with the embarrassed hosts and drunken townies). I'm not holding out much hope; I tried the same for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and failed miserably. On preview, I found that the Times Square celebration actually http://www.timessquarenyc.org/events/new-years-eve/webcast/index.aspx#.VKQJtqYtV8N. But let me know if your local media station has one, or if you have a suggestion on how to get live access to Ryan Seacrest.

I think it was Marketplace Tech Report on NPR this morning that had an interview segment with someone from UStream about their http://www.ustream.tv/2015. It looks like it's going to be an alternative view of the Times Square festivities with all of the online interactive features that you could want.

I'm not sure it's what you're looking for, but others might be interested in the http://www.wqxr.org/#!/story/wqxrs-2014-classical-countdown/?utm_source=local&utm_medium=treatment&utm_campaign=daMost&utm_content=damostviewed, where they're counting down the top-100 requested classical music pieces. They're currently at number 19 and scheduled to hit #1 at midnight.

In the past, at least before Gannett bought them from Belo Corp, both Dallas' http://www.wfaa.com and Seattle's http://www.king5.com streamed their New Year's Eve broadcasts online beginning between 7PM and 9PM local time (CST for Dallas, PST for Seattle). I don't know if they plan on doing it again this year but I sincerely hope so because I like watching them. WFAA started the online stream last year in time for the New Year's Rockin' Eve and continued through to half past midnight with a Dallas celebration.

If you have a regular TV you can get an HD antenna and get it straight off the air. They're as cheap as $20 and the bonus is, once you have it, you can get all sorts of broadcast TV whenever you want it.

http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/ sometimes has links to livestreams of big events like this; I'll post a link to their post if/when it goes up.
