Peter Deibler, known to thousands of WIHT (HOT 99.5)/Washington, DC morning drive time radio listeners as Kane, passed away after a long illness on Friday, March 6th at the Shady Grove Adventist Medical Center in suburban Maryland.
“The Kane Show” hit the FM dial in the Washington area in 2006. For years, it has been among the DMV’s most-listened-to morning radio programs, playing the latest hits and popular segments. Kane routinely discussed being a father to his two daughters, Sam and Sophie, endearing him to his many listeners.
Although co-hosts came and went, Kane remained a constant, comforting voice for thousands of people driving to work, dropping the kids off at school and running errands. The show, that also aired on Top 40 stations in Baltimore, Louisville, and Tampa, originated from the iHeartRadio studios located in the DC metropolitan area.
iHeartMedia DC Regional SVP/Programing Jeff Kapugi commented, “We are deeply saddened to hear the news that KANE has passed away. Kane has been an important part of our iHeart family for many years, from his early days at WFLZ/Tampa, to his network of stations and success at WIHT/Washington DC and Club Kane. Please keep Kane’s family and his girls in your thoughts and prayers.”
Deane Media Solutions offers our heartfelt condolences to Peter’s family, friends and colleagues.
