Accent on Youth was an Australian music variety television series that aired briefly on the Nine Network in 1958, from 25 January to around October, on Sydney station TCN-9. It evolved into a new series titled Bandstand, based on the United States series American Bandstand,[1] which debuted shortly after Accent on Youth ended. Originally presented by John Godson, it quickly acquired TV news anchor Brian Henderson as new host. A music series aimed at teenagers, it evolved from the Nine's former music program TV Disc Jockey series. Broadcast on Saturdays, Accent was originally a 30-minute show aired at 6:00 pm, later moved to 2:30 pm and expanded to an hour at 2:00 pm.
