American Bandstand - Local
musical show first aired on WFIL-TV (now WPVI), Channel 6 in
Philadelphia on October 7, 1952. Originally hosted by Bob
Horn (called Bob Horn's Bandstand), the show changed
hosts on July 9 of 1956 with 26 year old named Dick Clark.
When ABC picked the show up, it was renamed American
Bandstand, airing it's first national show on August 5,
1957. The show moved to Los Angeles in 1964 and ran until 1987
(David Hirsh later hosted the show on the USA Network in
1989). The NBC series AMERICAN DREAM that aired in the fall of
2002, used clips of the old American Bandstand program
as part of their plotline as a young Philadelphia teenage girl
aspires to be one of the dancers on the program. Also check

MTV -
The Music Telelvision Network debuted at midnight August 1,
1981 as John Lack one of the MTV creators spoke the words
"Ladies and
gentlemen, rock and roll" and then played the
music video "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles. The
MTV Network has been consistently ranked the No. 1 music
content site for music fans in their teens and twenties,
according to Media Metrix. MTV was also responsible for such
pop culture oddities as BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD/MTV/1993-
that combined
animation and music videos with the rude, crude, lude comments
of two twisted teenagers named
Beavis and Butt-head. As the Millennium rounded the
corner, MTV offered up the wacky and weird family documentary
series
THE OSBOURNES/MTV/2002+ that followed the home
and family life of rock star Ozzie Osbourne (where
family conversations
averaged 1.5 swear words per sentence).
