ABC’s “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest” once again bested the ball-dropping competition, averaging 18.8 million viewers during its key 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. time slot according to Nielsen ratings — up from last year‘s 17.9 million viewers.
That made “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” produced by Dick Clark Prods., again the No. 1 entertainment broadcast special of New Years Eve. The telecast peaked at midnight, when more than 30 million viewers tuned in to usher in the New Year as the ball dropped in Times Square. That was up from 29 million viewers last year.
