“On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m at about a 14 on excitement for this opportunity!” shared Kane. “We’ve worked hard every morning for the past eight years to entertain, inform, and build lasting bonds with our listeners. Now, the chance to do that on an even larger stage with Premiere is a dream come true for me and the show. I’d like to thank Thea Mitchem, Mark Medina, Tom Poleman, Clay Hunnicutt, Hartley Adkins, Julie Talbott, Jennifer Leimgruber and everyone within the iHeartMedia family who helped make this a reality for us. Here we go!”

Kane will continue to host Club Kane, a Sunday night music radio program which launched in March 2010 with Premiere Networks and airs nationwide on nearly 100 Top 40 stations from 7 p.m. to midnight local time. Each week, Kane plays chart-topping songs, debuts new music and takes requests as he welcomes listeners to his on-air party.
