I think Frank Gari did have a brief career as a teen idol-type singer. Wonder if the high school basketball game was a tournament game or regular season? Also, wasn't Benny Paret the one who died in a fight around that time?

Dick Clark may very well may have had a hand in this show. In his book "Rock, Roll, Remember" there is a 1950's pic taken of Dick Clark in his office at Philly's WFIL-TV ( the homebase at the time for American Bandstand ). In the pic in a clear shot one saw a letter from KAKE-TV. I assume that letter was about "Dance Party". Now whether or not KAKE was asking for Clark's advice or simply was it a letter asking for his support..that I have no idea.

Check the listings again :D...channel 12 aired Chicago Wrestling at 3pm.
 
I lived in the market from 1984-88 and was near there until '91. When did Ch. 6 and 7 move from their alignment with KAKE to KTVH (now KWCH)? And, noticing the differences between Ch. 2 and 3's schedules, when did they start running the same lineups??
