History

[edit]

The Spanish-language networks also joined in on the celebration. SIN/Univision's coverage of the event is called ¡Feliz (Year Number)! hosted by Don Francisco from Sábado Gigante. It became the biggest New Year's Eve program on the network since its original run and it currently airs at 10:00pm since 1986. For ¡Feliz 2006!, the show starts after Sábado Gigante at a special time of 7:00pm instead of the original 8:00pm time slot to finish 2005. ¡Feliz 2009! only covers the New York City at EST portion of the program. For the first time, Univision Communications would broadcast live from Disneyland Resort for ¡Feliz 2011!. ¡Feliz 2017! was on air for 12 hours, from 3:00pm to 9:00pm to finish 2016, including Los Angeles; Hong Kong; Dubai; Baghdad; Cairo; Moscow; Berlin; London; and Rio de Janeiro.

Pitbull participated in the 2018 edition, after his own Pitbull's New Year's Revolution special for Fox was cancelled.[1]

For the 2022 edition, TelevisaUnivision have decided to not broadcast from Times Square and instead host an indoor event from their studios in Miami due to unknown reasons, but they would return to Times Square for the 2023 edition.
