Career
Hassan initially started as a guest co-host on Sirius Satellite Radio's World Soccer Daily. He would often pair up with Steven Cohen, Nick Geber or Howard Rogers. He eventually replaced Howard Rogers in November 2006 after Rogers was let go from the show. Kenny then became the Monday through Friday co-host of World Soccer Daily when he and Steven Cohen were famously known for travelling the country and doing live-remote broadcasts during Champions League matches from locations in Boston, NY, Denver and Philadelphia. Kenny was with the show until its final broadcast in September 2009. Kenny then co-founded World Football Daily with Steven Cohen under a subscriber based model which had never been done before on any platform. Hassan then went on to become the lone host after Cohen had left the show in April 2011.
On Monday, September 26, 2011 Hassan signed off for the last time as the host of World Football Daily. In leaving World Football Daily, Hassan left a fine legacy of promoting the "beautiful game" in the United States. In his five and a half years as host/co-host of World Football Daily he proved to be an expert in promoting the English Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, Primera and Ligue 1 in the United States. Hassan made himself known for not only informative tactical analysis on every league and entertaining debate but in bringing lively interviews with some of the best coaches, players and correspondents in the game from around the world. The sudden departure of Hassan from his own show led to much speculation based on comments he had previously made regarding the formula of the show which he apparently did not agree with after long-time friend/partner Steven Cohen had left.
