Travel the Globe for the Final Countdown to 2015 with EarthCam's Live Views
Webcast Delivers Worldwide Celebrations and Multiple Webcams in Times Square
December 29, 2014 -- Looking for the perfect way to spend New Year’s Eve? Party through the night – and day – with EarthCam’s live coverage. The company’s 19th annual New Year’s Eve webcast begins in Australia on Wednesday, December 31, at midnight local time (8 am EST) and climaxes in Times Square before wrapping up in Hawaii.
Viewers will become immersed in the excitement of the new year by watching a fireworks display, live from Bangkok, Thailand. Give cheers to 2015 with a pint of Guinness at Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland; count down from zehn to one in Hamburg, Germany; observe a unique light show at the Eiffel Tower; sing along at Cats Meow Karaoke in New Orleans; or witness a life-changing moment as couples say their “I Do’s” at The Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel – all from a computer or mobile device.
For the ultimate New Year’s Eve experience, travel to Times Square, the world’s most popular tourist destination, and grab a front-row seat to the famous Ball Drop. Viewers will be able to see, hear and feel the anticipation build as midnight gets closer and closer with EarthCam’s live streaming video and audio webcams located throughout the “Crossroads of the World.” In addition, EarthCam’s time-lapse cameras will be snapping 16 megapixel, high quality photographs that can be shared on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
“This year’s webcast is also available as a continuous switched feed on our new 24-hour channel, EarthCamTV.com,” said Brian Cury, CEO & Founder of EarthCam. “Any Internet-enabled television can easily display the streaming video, making it a fun addition at any New Year’s Eve party.”
EarthCam’s New Year’s 2015 coverage offers over 50 live views of the worldwide celebration, including iconic locations in Brazil, Czech Republic, Dubai, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Malta, The Netherlands, Philippines, Romania and Thailand. Archives from the cameras will be available later in the night, so there is no need to worry about missing a location.
