LOS ANGELES, June 16 (UPI) -- Ryan Seacrest, host of "American Idol" and "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," would like to buy Dick Clark Productions, The Hollywood Reporter said.
The company, founded by the longtime television host in 1957, is now owned by Red Zone Capital, a private-equity company belonging to Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins. Clark, who died April 18 at age 82, sold his majority interest to Mosaic Media Group in 2002.
