I have a fondness for "live remote" broadcasts on New Year's Eve. Way back in my teen years, I used to listen to the NBC network in the USA, which continued a tradition established back in the 1930s with an "All Star Cavalcade of Bands" every year. Later on, NPR picked up the tradition. Until a few years ago, "Toast of the Nation" was mostly live, but now it's all canned. Here's information about what they have planned for this year. Actual broadcast times will depend on individual stations.
https://www.npr.org/2019/12/26/787762117/toast-of-the-nation-2020-the-jazz-collective-edition KSDS in San Diego had a live jazz show to welcome the new year for a few years, but it probably proved to be unsustainable. I don't see any evidence of it for this year. WRTI in Philadelphia is the only station I've found with an actual live broadcast at midnight (US Eastern time): https://www.wrti.org/post/spend-your-new-years-eve-and-day-wrti-special-live-broadcasts I find plenty of examples of disk jockey shows for New Year's Eve, and I'm sure some are very good, but that's not what I'm looking for. For better or worse, the best source I've found for a live feed of music, specifically jazz, appears to be Smalls, a club in New York. Registration is required, but live streaming is free: https://www.smallslive.com Sorry, these few are all I have to offer, and they're all very USA-centric. I hope others can add more suggestions, and some for the rest of the planet. I also like to track the progress of the New Year around the globe. As I'm writing this, it's less than ten hours away in New Zealand, but I'm not going to try to catch that. There was some discussion about this in a thread I started about this time last year: https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109963-Where-to-hear-Big-Ben-ring-in-the-New-Year Any suggestions for additional places to hear local countdowns would be welcome, too.
