In July 1956, DJ Dick Clark inherited WFIL-TV’s Bandstand
from scandal-tainted Bob Horn and revamped it.

On August 5, 1957, TV’s "American Bandstand" began
broadcasting nationally beaming images of clean-cut,
average teenagers dancing to 67 ABC affiliates across
the nation.

The show would become an iconic expression of American 
teen culture.
