At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve high above Times Square the "2019" numerals will light up on live TV watched by a billion people around the world. Replacing the numeral "8" with the new "9" is anything but easy. Joseph Calvano, President of Landmark Signs explains how the seven-foot-high numeral that weighs about 450 pounds is winched into position atop One Times Square where it will stay for a whole year, and will be seen underneath the New Year's Eve Ball by millions of visitors to Time Square during that time.
