ARLINGTON, Va. (ABC7) — Peter “Kane” Deibler, host of “The Kane Show,” passed away Friday “after a long illness” at Shady Grove Adventist Medical Center in Rockville, according to the law firm that represented him.
The Kane Show had for years “been among the DMV’s most-listened-to morning radio programs,” the statement says, “playing the latest hits and popular segments.” It was pulled from the airwaves last spring.
Kane leaves behind two daughters who were often discussed on his show, Sam and Sophie.

The Kane Show aired in D.C., as well as on Top 40 stations in Baltimore, Louisville, and Tampa, and was broadcasted from the iHeartRadio studios located at 1801 Rockville Pike in Rockville.
According to All Access, a radio industry news website, during high school, Kane interned at a radio station in New Haven, Connecticut. While attending college at Syracuse University, Kane volunteered at the campus radio station and hosted an evening show on HOT 107.9 (WWHT-FM) in the Upstate New York city of around 150,000 people.
In 1998, Kane took a job at 93.3 (WFLZ-FM) in Tampa. Within a year, “The Extreme Show With Kane” was syndicated in 17 cities across the country. In 2003, Kane became the host of the “Open House Party.” The Sunday night radio show aired in more than 150 markets, All Access reported. After eight years in Tampa, Kane made the move to DC and HOT 99.5.
