Open House Party - Segments

Segments

These are a few of the segments heard each week on the show:

• Make It Or Break It! (also called "Rate the Record"): Garabedian plays a new song each week and listeners call in to say what they thought of the song. The votes are tabulated and, based upon the final vote tally, the listeners decide to either "Make It...or Break It!" Open House Party trivia tidbit: Only one song has ever "Made It" by 100%... that was "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure and was announced on air by Open House Party intern Jeff Docherty back in 1992.
• Who Sings It?: Garabedian plays a song and listeners call and guess the artist in order to win a prize pack.
• Satellite Mega-Mix: Garabedian talks to one of the world's top club DJs, and a dance mix of up to 3 songs is then played. This segment was discontinued after the show's July 17, 2010 broadcast.
• Research Rich: Mediabase president Rich Meyer gives his company's list of the week's top 5 songs (based on radio airplay) and then Garabedian plays Meyer's pick for the "Hot New Song of the Week".
• The Big 3: Garabedian plays the 3 most requested songs of the night. After this, there are usually one or two songs played afterwards and then the show ends.
• The Purple Chamber of Gold: Garabedian takes a caller who has a special meaning behind a particular song. The caller's story is played on air followed by the song. The segment usually deals with the death of a loved one or a love lost. Recently, this was changed to over 30 minutes of songs with a certain theme. The segment was again changed, this time to all "throwback" songs.
• Long Distance Nighty Nights: This segment always airs at the end of the Sunday night show. Bruno Mars' famous hit "Just the Way You Are" is played with an extended instrumental intro. Over the intro, Kannon plays calls from listeners all across North America saying a special "Nighty Night" to their loved one.
