8 p.m. (Ch. 4) Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular

The title leaves no doubt of what will be seen in the skies over the East River in this annual special. Nick Cannon returns as host, with a lineup that includes country singers Miranda Lambert and Hunter Hayes. Ariana Grande and veteran star Lionel Richie are also on the bill. To many, those who set off the holiday pyrotechnics are stars in their own right, and their work on barges near the Brooklyn Bridge will add festive color to the occasion.
