Warren Edgar To Director 5th Annual Portland New Year’s LIVE Show
PORTLAND, Maine, Aug. 14, 2026 — LSO Media announced today that Warren Edgar will Director the 5th Annual Portland New Year’s LIVE, taking place December 31, 2026, streaming live on PMC Watch, PMC Channel 5, and PMC Channel 2.
Edgar will oversee the broadcast’s creative direction, production planning and live execution. He will work alongside the program’s producers, talent and technical crew to shape the fifth annual show and guide the production through its New Year’s Eve broadcast.
“Warren is the person you want in the chair when the clock is running and there are no second takes,” said Luigi Scarcelli. “He knows how to lead a crew, keep a live production moving and still leave room for the moments that make live television exciting. Bringing him in to direct and executive produce our fifth year was an easy decision.”
Edgar brings extensive experience in live television, studio production, broadcast operations and multiplatform distribution. His work includes serving as Director and Executive Producer of Friday PM, where he has helped guide the late-night program through six seasons and nearly 100 episodes. He has also led the development and production of numerous entertainment, news and public-affairs programs.
“New Year’s Eve television has its own energy,” Edgar said. “You’re building toward one exact moment, and every part of the production has to arrive there together. I’m excited to work with this team, honor what the show has built over its first four years and make the fifth annual broadcast feel like a real event for Portland.”
The 2026 production marks an important milestone for Portland New Year’s LIVE, which will celebrate its fifth consecutive year bringing audiences together for a locally produced New Year’s Eve broadcast.
Additional announcements regarding the broadcast, including featured guests, performers and viewing information, will be released in the coming months.
