dick clark's american bandstand

I'd like to meet:

American Bandstand began as a local Philadelphia dance show called Bandstand in October, 1952, hosted by Bob Horn. It was a live music and dance show, with local teens dancing to popular music often performed by the artists themselves. In 1956, Dick Clark became the host of the show, and on August 5, 1957, the program premiered on ABC-TV. The show aired daily for the next 6 years, when it settled into its berth on Saturday afternoons, beginning on September 7, 1963. A few months later, the show moved from Philadelphia to Los Angeles.The country's most popular rock 'n' roll dance show, American Bandstand introduced viewers to many of the hottest dance moves over the years and became a part of American television history by bringing rock 'n' roll music into millions of households. Regular features on the show included "Rate-A-Record," "The Spotlight Dance," "Dance Contest" and the American Bandstand "Top Ten."ABC-TV dropped American Bandstand in September, 1987, and the series returned 2 weeks later on September 19, 1987 in first-run syndication. On April 8, 1989, American Bandstand moved to the USA cable network, and replaced Clark with a younger host in an effort to bring in new viewers. This version lasted only 6 months with the final show airing on October 7, 1989
