Open House Party is an American radio show hosted on Saturday nights by John Garabedian that promotes itself as "the biggest party on the planet". It focuses on playing contemporary hit radio (CHR) music, also known as Top 40. The show differentiates itself from most Top 40 stations because it plays a fairly significant amount of electronic dance music. OHP started in 1987 and is syndicated to more than 150 stations in the U.S. A companion program, Open House Party Sunday, hosted by Dallas, KLIF-FM morning host Kannon, also runs on the next evening on many stations.
The Saturday show originates from the basement of Garabedian's house, located in suburban Boston, Massachusetts. The Sunday show originates from the KLIF-FM studios in Dallas and is not live.
Only the Saturday edition of OHP is broadcasted live (in Eastern and Central time only) via satellite from 7:00 p.m. to midnight (in Eastern and Mountain time) or from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. (in Central and Pacific time). Some stations only broadcast OHP on Saturday, while others broadcast it only on Sunday, while most broadcast it on both Saturday and Sunday. Some stations only broadcast a portion of OHP to make room for a local or another syndicated program. 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). Open House Party and Open House Party Sunday are syndicated by Radiocraft.
