Open House Party (often referred to as "OHP") is an American radio show hosted by Kannon (Saturday) and Joe Breezy (Sunday), branded as "The Biggest Party on the Planet!", playing contemporary hit music. From its inception in September 1987, OHP quickly became popular with its live all-request format, along with a heavy rotation of dance music and remixes that differentiated itself from most Top 40 stations or shows. John Garabedian created and hosted both Saturday and Sunday nights for nearly 30 years. The show's audience and revenue peaked from the mid 1990s to late 2000s, where it was heard on over 175 stations and became the world's most-listened-to radio program on weekend nights. Since Garabedian's departure, the show has changed drastically in terms of presentation and production with less than 30 total affiliates. A key reason for OHP's decline is that it is no longer live, but instead, voice-tracked.
The show airs on most affiliates from 7 p.m. to Midnight Eastern Time and 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Central Time, while stations in the western half of the United States delay the broadcast by two hours. Some stations rebroadcast OHP from Midnight to 5 a.m. (in Eastern and Mountain Time) or 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. (in Central and Pacific Time).
