Dancing No Longer Restricted to The End Zone

Hollywood, Ca. – Professional football Redskins team owner Daniel Snyder dances to a new beat ashe swings in to buy Dick Clark Productions.
Founded in 1957, Dick Clark Productions hit the floor as Dick Clark himself launched the famed “American Bandstand” on ABC.
Today the production company continues to headline entertainment programs such as the “Golden Globes,” the “American Music Awards,” and “So You Think You Can Dance.”
Dick Clark Productions was a publicly traded company until CDP Capital Entertainment and former MGM executive Jules Haimovitz scooped it up for $140 million in 2002, making it a private enterprise.
The two outfits have been tripping over each other since then about where to lead the future of the company. In 2004, CDP finally decided to dance solo, casting Dick Clark Productions to the wall as they wait for a new partner.
Snyder, a businessman seemingly comfortable with all that Tinseltown’s jazz, is currently signed with Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner’s Cruise Wagner Productions for the Teams’ Red Zone.
Snyder presently owns Six Flags and Red Zebra Broadcasting, responsible for managing three ESPN-branded sports radio outlets in DC and Virginia.
