New Years around the world on web radio

Want to take in the revelry of New Year's as 2011 makes its way around the world?  Check out the links below:

(UPDATE:  Checked out the page.....not all of the links work, but they can be a good starting point for you to find what you are looking for.  If a station or country's links don't work, you can do a search on RadioTime or Reciva.   But this does provide an excellent source for finding out where to listen and at what times.....)

From Christmas Island at 5 a.m. EST on Dec. 31 through American Samoa at 6 a.m. EST on Jan. 1, Lou Josephs again provides the local Web radio links for New Years Eve Live as 2011 sweeps around the world.
Lou calls it "39 time zones in 25 hours." (There's a "strange half hour time zone" in Adelaide, South Australia.)
The "latest" blog entry, the one on top, is actually the last place to lose 2010, so it's better to read up from the bottom of the "Older posts," then the main page.
From Lou's Welcome message,
This is the new website for the around the world via radio, it will take you to the best stations around the world on new years eve, starting in the south pacific and ending in the same place. The trip takes 25 hours, and will take you to 39 time zones.
Radio station always do live or special programs on holidays and new years eve shows are among the best;
The idea started with Kim Andrew Elliott who begin using shortwave radio broadcasts. In 1997 I added internet streaming to the mix. This will be the first new site up date in a few years. To help you out check this map that shows you what countries welcome in the New Year by time: Where Year 2011 enters first and 2010 ends last by time zone, around the World.
