From Dec. 31, 1976, here is the CBS coverage of New Years Eve at Times Square with Ben Grauer (who passed away a few months later) and Guy Lombardo. Taped from WJW-TV8, Cleveland.
Too bad, CBS doesn't do New Year's specials like this anymore. Tonight, David Letterman will host "The Late Show" where he takes you to Times Square to ring in 2008. This special was competing with Dick Clark's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" show, the best ever New Year's special on ABC. I know that CBS and ABC was having some competition back then because of the New Year's specials. Now they're competing with the Fox Network.
