It was broadcast from Bremen, West Germany on ''Erstes Deutsches Fernsehen'', the national public TV channel of the ARD, and produced by one of its members, Radio Bremen, later co-produced by WDR following the 38th episode.

In 1972, it was replaced by ''Musikladen''. Performances from the show can now be seen on VH1 Classic, and reruns air in several European countries. Several DVD collections have also been released. In early 2008, the first free Video on demand web portal for ''Beat-Club'' and ''Musikladen'' was launched at Mybeatclub.com, featuring the most popular songs and artists of both shows. In 2010, mybeatclub.com was replaced by www.youtube.de/beatclub. == Show history == ''Beat-Club'' was co-created by Gerhard Augustin and Mike Leckebusch. The show premiered on 25 September 1965 with Augustin and Uschi Nerke hosting. German TV personality Wilhelm Wieben opened the first show with a short speech. After eight episodes, Augustin stepped down from his hosting role and was replaced by DJ Dave Lee Travis. The show's earlier episodes featured live performances, and was set in front of a plain brick wall. It underwent a revamp in 1967, when a more professional look was adapted with large cards in the background displaying the names of the performers. Around this time, a troupe of young women billed the "Go-Go-Girls," were introduced to dance to songs when their performers couldn't appear. In early 1969, Travis was replaced by Dave Dee, of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. On 31 December 1969, ''Beat-Club'' switched to color and again featured live performances. Dee departed in 1970, leaving Nerke as the lone host. In the later years of its run, the series was known for incorporating psychedelic visual effects during many performances, especially following the switch to color. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beat-Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
