From 1998 through 2014, MTV aired New Year's Eve specials. Carrying various formats and branding, the specials were typically broadcast from MTV's One Astor Plaza studios in Times Square, and featured concert performances and coverage of the nearby ball drop at midnight. During the late 1990s, 2000s, and part of the early 2010s, the special was heavily promoted and featured top musical acts and celebrities. By its final years, the specials had been downsized in comparison.
The network decided not to carry a special at the end of 2015 leading into 2016, choosing to carry a marathon of the viral clip series Ridiculousness instead, with a teaser of the first segment of the next episode of the network's series Teen Wolf aired at midnight; the network and parent company Viacom in general went through number of staff and budget cutbacks in 2015 due to declining ratings.[1] This was repeated in subsequent years.
