Feder: NBC 5 New Year's show won't be back - but something will
"Chi-Town Rising," Chicago's answer to New York's Times Square celebration on New Year's Eve, won't be back this year. But that isn't going to stop NBC-owned WMAQ-Channel 5 from ringing in 2018, anyway. A station representative confirmed that a live New Year's Eve special will air again this year, but no details were available.
