Open House Party  Open House Party (often times referred to as OHP) is an American radio show hosted on Saturday and Sunday nights by Kannon. The show promotes itself as "the Biggest Party on the Planet". It focuses on playing contemporary hit radio (CHR) music, also known as Top 40. From its inception in September 1987, OHP quickly became popular with its all-request format, along with a heavy rotation of dance music and remixes that differentiated itself from most Top 40 stations or shows. Garabedian created and hosted both Saturday and Sunday nights for many years. The show peaked in success from 1998-2002, where it was heard on over 175 stations and became the world's most-listened-to radio program. Today, it is broadcast on less than 40 stations, primarily in small markets. The show typically airs on most affiliates from 7PM to Midnight Eastern Time and 6PM to 11PM Central Time, while most stations in the western half of the US delay the broadcast by two hours. Many stations rebroadcast OHP from midnight to 5:00 a.m. (in Eastern and Mountain time) or 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. (in Central and Pacific time). In 1955, the original "Open House Party" was created as the afternoon show on radio station WORC in Worcester, Massachusetts. Garabedian would often co-host the show, and throughout his career at WORC, he worked many different positions including one of the key people to bring up ratings and create major success for the station. A few years later, then 17-year-old John Garabedian was hired to DJ on Saturdays and Sundays. After the sale of Garabedian's television station V-66 in 1986, he ventured out to find the next opportunity in broadcasting. One night in 1987, Garabedian went to a party in Boston. There he bumped into Sunny Joe White, legendary radio programmer of Boston's WXKS-FM "Kiss 108". White asked Garabedian if he would do the weekend shift. The following week, the two of them met to discuss it at dinner, where Garabedian proposed the idea for a national interactive weekend party show. White loved it, and agreed to put it on Kiss 108 after Garabedian created a studio to do the show. After looking into various office buildings, Garabedian decided to do the show from his basement. He and his friends strapped a 50-foot pole to his chimney to hold up a little microwave antenna aimed at the Prudential Tower, to the east, in downtown Boston.
