On July 9, 1956, Horn, fired after a drunk driving arrest, was replaced by Dick Clark after a period of on-air tryouts from various DJs. (Horn also had been charged with statutory rape, and was acquitted.) Clark had shared afternoon DJ duties with Horn on WFIL-AM (Horn had been working radio "and" TV simultaneously, and wasn't happy about it.) "Bandstand" was picked up by ABC (becoming "American Bandstand") on August 5, 1957 and went on to great success with Dick Clark as host.
