“The people that come to our shows want to hear the songs that are part of their lives,” Cronin has said previously. “The songs they can sing along to.”
New Year’s Eve specials have increasingly leaned into classic rock for a reason. These are artists whose songs span generations—music that parents, adult kids, and even first-time listeners all recognize within seconds. Unlike pop-heavy countdowns that skew younger, classic rock offers familiarity and communal sing-along energy, making it especially well-suited for a national broadcast meant to keep viewers tuned in across multiple time zones.
How to Watch
The Coast-to-Coast Countdown 2026 will air across 138 Nexstar-owned and partner stations in 116 markets, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Tampa. The broadcast will also stream live online, with bonus content available for digital viewers.
