Chasing Midnight New Years Eve 2017

Looks like I'm going to have to get several more cheap analogue clocks to try to keep track of the different time zones at a glance.

Flashback to a previous fun NYE and hopefully a rerun:

That is a great site, I use it for dawn dusk times but I have so much clutter on my desktop I have resorted to several analogue clocks from around the house!

Old tech is not dead. . .

Found some fireworks in the background of Gali Kurdistan.

Now that the war is supposedly over, there may be more from Kurdistan and Northern Iraq.

13E Kazakh TV isnt looking too promising......

Probably the standard Dear Leader's speech and a clock animation

 

[Analoguesat]

Yup El Presidentie is strutting his speech - & just before some nice views of downtown Astana shown

Dear Leader now on Kazakh TV

Celebrations from various Indian cities on AAJ TAK on 28E

Struggled for India, but finally picked up Aaj Tak (Sky 818) with some muted celebrations

Dubai TV already running New Years Eve coverage. Simulcast with Sama Dubai.

I liked the golden microphone.

Plastic, of course.

The Turkmenistan Channel on 52E has an English language translation of the Turkmen Presidential speech which is a nice touch
