I couldn't possibly rate this program.

Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, on Bloomberg Television
Bloomberg; Boston Pops; IMDb; TV Tango; Wikipedia

This is an annual Fourth of July celebration, which began in 1973. The main performers are the Boston Pops Orchestra, but there are always plenty of other musical guests. The program was broadcast on A&E from 1991-2002, under the title "Pops Goes the Fourth!" (Prior to that, I think it aired on PBS at least some years, perhaps in the time slot following A Capitol Fourth. I'm not really sure.) It was renamed "Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular" when it moved to CBS, where it aired from 2003-2012, and 2016. Since 2017, it has been broadcast on Bloomberg Television. Anyway, I'm not sure how much of this I ever saw, but it's something I've been aware of for as long as I can remember.
