From a local standpoint, there were just 2 choices for live, local New Year's Eve programming. The ones on NBC 5 & ABC 7 in particular. Someone I know on Twitter (X) was tweeting that ABC News Live, the network's 24/7 digital news channel, carried the ABC 7 feed.

I know that ABC 7's Terrell Brown & Chief Meteorologist Cheryl Scott have started their "Countdown Chicago" show with a dance number the last couple of years. It's not the same anymore since entertainment reporter Janet Davies & sports anchor Mark Giangreco left the station a couple years ago, too.
