Broadcast
From 1996–2006, the rights to the television broadcast were held by the Nine Network with Richard Wilkins as a host for almost every year. From 2006–2009, Network Ten was broadcaster after winning a three-year deal from Nine. In 2009, Nine regained the rights back from Ten and is now the current broadcaster.

Under the current broadcaster, the two firework displays are televised as two same-named shows; the "9pm Family Fireworks" from 8:30pm–9:30pm and the "Midnight Fireworks" from 11:30pm–12:30am. Within each are various other segments and musical acts before and after each fireworks display. Since the 2006–07 event, the fireworks soundtracks have been broadcast by radio station 2Day FM in synchronization.
