Pontiac was a sponsor...........but they never made the countdown animations. Toshiba made the upper screen countdown and the Panasonic Jumbotron counted down using the countdown to 2000 from Discover Card (which was formerly on the upper screen of the building.)

I think that it's funny that this was Toshiba's first year, but it was called the Pontiac G8 Countdown, not the Toshiba Countdown. I keep playing the raw SFX file for the Times Square countdowns for this special edition countdown over and over again and I love the pontiac startup, rev, and drive away SFX, sounds much better if you have the actual file because you don't have echo or reverb.

December 31, 2007-January 1, 2008 Times square ball drop marks the 100th Anniversary celebration. It also marks the 7th year of playing Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" and the 3rd year of playing John Lennon's "Imagine".

For "Times Square on New Year's Eve 2008", the Monday, December 31, 2007 New Year's Eve leading into Tuesday, January 1, 2008, Georgina Bloomberg was introduced to Times square with the mayor. This was the third year they played "Imagine" in Times square after Dick Clark's stroke. This was the 100th anniversary of the ball drop in Times square. After "Imagine" song ended, the Pontiac sounded as the mayor pushed the button. After Ray charles' America, Louis Armstrong was played in New York.
