Hosted by Seacrest from New York’s Times Square, the show serves as a celebration of the best music of the year, with performances by some of the biggest stars of the day. Details about co-hosts, performers, and additional locations will be announced at a later date. The show will air live on Dec. 31 beginning at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
Originally launched in 1972, the show has remained highly popular. The 2022 telecast attracted 13.8 million total viewers, with a 5.3 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic in the midnight quarter hour. Clark famously hosted the show until 2005, when health issues forced him to cede full-time hosting duties to Seacrest. Clark continued to make appearances on the show, however, until his death in 2012.
This is the second deal for a Dick Clark Productions property announced in recent days. It was previously announced that the company has also secured a deal with CBS to air the Golden Globe Awards in 2024.
The 81st edition of the awards show will air Jan. 7 on the broadcast network immediately after an NFL on CBS doubleheader. The show will also stream on Paramount+ and be available on the CBS app as part of a new deal between CBS and the Golden Globes.
Penske Media Eldridge is the parent company of both Dick Clark Productions and Variety. Penske Media Eldridge is a subsidiary of PMC.
