One more year we return to one of the most important dates of the Christmas time: New Year's Eve or New Year's Eve. Today we leave behind a year marked by great Apple launches like the AirTag or the iPhone 13. However, it is also a date to remember those who are gone and remember the great moments of this year. To start the year on this New Year's Eve we can continue with the tradition of following the chimes with their respective 12 grapes. If you are confined because you are positive for SARS-CoV-2 or because you are in contact with a positive or simply do not have a television at hand, We show you how to follow the chimes on your iPhone or iPad.
The important thing is to choose where to see the New Year's Eve chimes
The chimes are normally followed through public or private televisions available on televisions in the vast majority of homes in Spain. Each of these channels select two or three important people within their programming to announce the bells and accompany the viewer in the last minutes of 2021 and lead them into 2022. Therefore, the decision of where to view the chimes depends solely on the user's preference.
If you do not have a television near or in your room in case you have to be isolated or in quarene because you have or have been contacts of the COVID-19 virus, there is a solution: use the official TV apps to see the programming live from your device.
RTVE
On public television in Spain, on La 1, they will be Anne Igartiburu and Jacob Petrus those in charge of starting the year 2022. Petrus, host of the program «Here the Earth», replaces Ana Obregón for her recent positive in SARS-CoV-2. Thanks to the RTVE Play app we will be able to see live all the RTVE channels including La 1 where the New Year's Eve special will take place, which will begin at 23:40. An hour later, to coincide with the chimes in the Canary Islands, it will be Nieves Álvarez and Roberto Herrera who will lead the end of the year from the islands.
Atresmedia
The Atresmedia group brings together the channels Antena 3, La Sexta, Neox, Nova and Mega. The group's special programming will only be available on the two main networks. In Antena 3 Alberto Chicote and Cristina Pedroche will be in charge of accompanying us in the traditional New Year's Eve chimes in a special program that will begin at 23:40 p.m. Finally, in La Sexta it will be the presenters Cristina Pardo and Dani Mateo who will put the final icing on this 2021 from the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, also at 23:40.
Mediaset
The Mediaset group is the conglomerate of large networks such as Cuatro, Telecinco, FDF, Energy, Divinity and Be Mad. The chimes can be followed from Vejer de la Frontera on Telecinco and Cuatro in a simultaneous broadcast presented by Carlos Sobera and Paz Padilla. These will be the presenters who will start 2022 through a special program, a special that will begin at 23:30 p.m.
You can follow the live broadcasts of these two channels, we can use Mitele, the app that Mediaset uses to share its content on mobile devices.
Twitch: Ibai Llanos
Every year the streamer and presenter Ibai Llanos is having much more success. But with a peculiarity: it does not use traditional media or televisions. Rather, you prefer to broadcast your content through live platforms such as twitch where it is known worldwide. Last year it managed to gather more than half a million people, more than any conventional national television network. This year it will broadcast its special New Year's Eve accompanied by a well-known Spanish presenter called Ramon Garcia, Known for presenting the chimes years ago or for hosting the "Grand Prix" show.
To follow him we will have to download Twitch on our iPhone or iPad and access his profile where the live will begin minutes before the end of the year.
If you are abroad, you will have to use a VPN
If you are abroad, you will probably have to use the official websites of each of the channels that we have discussed above to be able to access their live streams online. For this you can use a VPN connection, which allows us to connect to websites from a different place than where we are in order to "unblock" content. Some of the best VPNs available on the App Store are as follows:
