How to Watch the ‘New Year's Eve Live’ Online and Over the Air Without Cable
So, if you’ve cut the cord, but still want to celebrate with the rest of America by tuning in to live New Year’s Eve coverage, what do you do? Several streaming services carry CNN, the network that hosts the “New Year's Eve Live” production. Here’s the complete breakdown of where and how to watch this New Year’s Eve coverage.
Note: One thing to keep in mind with streaming services is that they tend to be slightly delayed compared to cable and antenna TV. That's because streaming services need to “buffer,” or pre-load some content, in order to stream smoothly (with that buffer zone of pre-loaded content, streaming services can keep delivering a smooth experience even if your internet connection slows down for a moment). To buffer live TV, streaming services have to operate on a bit of a delay. This isn't a huge deal for most of us, but die-hards who want the most time accurate possible New Year's Eve countdown on their TV may want to opt for an antenna broadcast rather than a streaming service this New Year's.
Here’s where you can watch:
- Hulu + Live TV
- DIRECTV
- Sling TV
- YouTube TV
- CNN Max
