  • 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.

  • 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).
