Philips having a ball with 2006 New Year’s

Chevy, Korbel champagne, Panasonic, MSN and Coke are all
official sponsors of the Times Square Alliance’s New Year’s Eve party this
year. But as usual, it’s Waterford who’ll take center stage at the zero hour with its massive New Year’s ball. And
piggybacking on the huge crystal ball is Philips, which has been lighting the
sphere for the past five years. This year is particularly special for
Philips—it’s the last time it will be lighting the ball exclusively with incandescent
lighting.
