  1. And Nine has the annual repeat of Can’t Stop the Music straight after the fireworks. New Year’s morning wouldn’t be New Year’s morning without seeing Caitlyn Jenner pre-op and the legendary YMCA scene.

    1. Channel 7 couldn’t even focus on a building properly during the fireworks. It was the blurriest video I’ve seen since that one starring Paris Hilton. I thought I had the TV on 3D mode and actually had to check it twice.

  4. Channel 9 for years used to do the New Years special with the fireworks with Richard Wilkins then it suddenly stopped a couple of years ago. I’ve watched the channel 2 one the last couple of years, it wasn’t too bad. Probably watch it again tonight.
