So, another year over, another arbitrary flip of the calendar. Feel like you’ve barely processed the last 12 months? Channel 10 aims to help with a retrospective look back at the year’s highs and lows, triumphs and tragedies, with “2024’s Biggest Stories” airing this New Year’s Eve.
Before we collectively stumble into the future, Ten is offering a slightly different flavor of New Year’s Eve programming. While other networks may focus on glittering entertainment spectacles, Ten is taking a more grounded approach, seemingly aiming for viewers who prefer a bit of reflection with their bubbly.
Kicking off the evening at 7:30 PM is a repeat of “Have You Been Paying Attention.” Because nothing says “New Year’s Eve” like revisiting the year’s most talked-about moments through the snarky lens of a comedy quiz show. It’s a familiar comfort, like that worn-out party hat you dig out every December 31st.
Then, at 8:30 PM, the main event: “2024’s Biggest Stories.” What exactly will make the cut? Will it be a sobering recap of global events? A montage of viral TikTok dances? A deep dive into the latest celebrity feuds? The possibilities are as endless as the supply of lukewarm champagne at a New Year’s Eve party. Let’s hope Ten strikes a balance between the significant and the absurd.
This news-focused approach offers a counterpoint to the more typical New Year’s Eve fare. It’s a chance to process the year that was, to remember the moments that shaped us, before launching into whatever fresh chaos 2025 has in store. Or, you know, you could just ignore it all and focus on the appetizers. It’s your New Year’s Eve, after all.
“2024’s Biggest Stories” airs Tuesday, December 31, at 8:30 PM on Network Ten. “Have You Been Paying Attention?” airs at 7:30 PM on the same network.
