Open House Party

If you’re new to us, Open House Party is a huge radio show which airs every Saturday and Sunday night on hit radio stations across North America. It is and always has been totally listener interactive and is transmitted live via satellite from the homes of host John Garabedian (Saturday)

and Kannon (Sunday).



The original Open House Party actually started in 1955 when it was created as the afternoon show on radio station WORC in Worcester, Massachusetts. John Garabedian stumbled into WORC a few years later when he was 17 and was hired to DJ on Saturday and Sunday nights (sound familiar?). Blown away with the power and popularity of the weekday Open House Party, and the 100% interactive listener-driven format, he ended up years later as co-host.



The direction of Open House Party is totally driven by the listeners. All music played is 100% by listener requests, which keeps Open House Party tuned in to what our core listeners actually want to hear on the weekend, rather than by CD sales, spin, or “callout” charts. This enables Open House Party to spot hot new hits first, to identify which songs are really the most popular, and almost as importantly, to determine which songs have died and have high “burn”.



Thanks to you and the rest of our listeners who have truly made Open House “the biggest party on the planet!"
