Dick Clark Tribute

D

DaveWilliams

Did any station in this area do anything as a tribute to Dick Clark? Better yet, would anyone even remember who Dick Clark is if they did something?
 
he was a great presenter...and uniter of races to dance together. other than that he was no more than an average presenter on the radio and tv that had his right place right time like we all do.

The obvious station to have done something is SOX. Those who remember the Oldies 96.1 days may remember Dick actually did the stations legal ID. But asleep at the wheel once again..no surprise.
 
I did a tribute in Lewistown on WKVA. Did clips from several tributes from other celebs & artists gleaned from TV talk shows (thanks to our show prep material). Ended the piece with Barry Manilow's "Bandstand Boogie" from 1975. It was about 15-20 min. long.

Someone has to screw the pooch.....
 
Those who were going to pay tribute did so.

Any who are still planning to pay tribute should make certain that he is not placed in a subordinate position in any manner to those who came after him in their own venues. People with a sense of appropriateness, class and dignity would obviously know that.
 
www.oldiesradio1620.com ran a few tributes to Dick Clark this weekend (4/28-29), shows like Dave The Rave, The Vault, The Hits of Yesteryear and Sunday Night Trivia. It was nice to read that WKVA also did something. Guess the brains at any of the other stations felt it wasn't necessary to run anything. Now I know why I don't listen to anything around here!
 
American Top 40 the 70's will be doing an episode that Dick Clark did as a fill in host this weekend. I don't know what station in your area carries it.

AT 40 the 70s has no affiliate in So. Central PA. This particular show was broadcast last Sunday morning on WLIF 101.9 Lite FM in Baltimore, so it may have already aired on other affiliate stations as well. The show was from this week in 1972, I think.

Baltimore residents undoubtedly know Dick Clark for many things, but American Bandstand isn't among them. The ABC affiliate in those days was WJZ 13, which aired their own very popular daily teen dance program, the Buddy Deane Show, and never broadcast the classic weekday version of Bandstand at all. There were many markets around the country that never saw American Bandstand, some of them rather large. Considering how popular and influential the show was, it must be strange to be a lifelong resident of one of those areas and have this vast cultural hole called American Bandstand that you knew nothing about.
 
The show carried here in Columbus was from 1979. They did advertise that they will run the show next week. Clear Channel's WODC carries it here. And Here in Columbus American Bandstand and Soul Train ran back to back on Saturdays.
