Peter Deibler

April 7, 1977 - March 6,

2021. Peter Deibler, known to thousands of morning drive time Washington, DC radio listeners as “Kane”, passed away after a long illness on Friday, March 5th 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 Delaware-MarylandVirginia area’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 or running errands. The show, which also aired on Top 40 stations in Baltimore, Louisville, and Tampa, originated from the iHeartRadio studios located in the DC metropolitan area.

While still in high school, Kane interned at radio station KC101 in Hamden, Connecticut. While attending college at Syracuse University, Kane volunteered at the campus radio station WJPZ, and began his career on an evening show on WWHT in the Upstate New York city.

In 1998, Kane took a job at

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. In

2001 he signed on as a Program Director with what is now SiriusXM Satellite Radio, following which Kane made the move to Washington, DC and radio station WIHT/ HOT 99.5.

Peter Deibler was born and raised in Danbury, Connecticut and is survived by his beloved daughters, Samantha and Sophie, his mother, Nancy Tse, his father, Sam Deibler, his sister, Jill Deibler and the thousands of people who woke up and drove to his wit and his perspective on life.
