American Bandstand


 

American Bandstand was a live dance music television show. It premiered locally as Bandstand on Philadelphia television station WFIL on October 7, 1952 in "Studio 'B'", which was located in their just-completed addition to the original 1947 building (4548 Market Street), and was hosted by Bob Horn. On July 9, 1956, Horn, following a drunk driving arrest, was replaced by Dick Clark. The show was picked up by ABC on August 5, 1957 after some badgering from Clark to the network to put the show on nationally, broadcasting daily (first live, then on kinescope when Clark went on tour with the singers) until 1963 and then airing weekly until 1989.
