Television Rings in the New Year
The changing of the calendar year - While an occurrence ages old, the presence of television heightened it by bringing many in different locations together for the annual celebration. Without the early music brought into househoulds by Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians, Auld Lang Syne would not have the pop culture meaning it does today. Then the legendary Dick Clark took the festivities into another generation with Rockin' New Year's Eve and the other networks and late night hosts involved participated in their own inclusive way. Krysti and Tori from the Trendy Lobotomy podcast join BAF to discuss how over the decades, many names in entertainment made December 31st into January 1st an eventful time to remember beyond the calendar.
