Are there any events similar to New Years where some specific countdown time
is shown on TV?
How about some show where they just show a good picture of a reliable clock?
Or do we have to wait a whole year to be able to measure things?

Bloomberg TV, a financial news channel, has a continuous clock in the
lower left corner.
Other financial channels may also do that, as time is of the essence.
Especially opening and closing times.

There are a number of sources for the delay.
When I worked for a TV station, it was almost impossible to cleanly
cut from network to local.
Network had time embedded in their signal that was constantly decoded
by the station and displayed in master control.
The offset from local time varied, sli
TV delays of several seconds could be due to the time delay
built into programming to avoid wardrobe malfunctions and
bad language getting on the air.
Plenty of opportunities for that when covering the public
at a New Year's Eve celebration.

That latency is the price we pay for digital TV. Local analog TV only had a
few 10s of microseconds of delay. Network had a few milliseconds latency
unless passed through a satellite.

Maybe next year we should see how much delay data we can collect. That's in
addition or instead of collecting leap second data. The usual ball drops at
local midnight so you have the time-zone offset to separate collecting
leap-second data and midnight-TV delay data.

Do any TV stations carry serious time info? (maybe on part of the retrace
info)

Not now it's gone digital, not to mention via satellite. Here, the local
BBC-1 broadcast via Freeview (digital terrestrial) was about 6 seconds late.

Thanks for the heads up on the latency.
