‘Kane Show’ Host Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting Wife; Calls Accusation 'Unfounded'

THE MOUTH, JUNE 21ST, 2016 –– Calling it "..an accusation that’s unfounded,” Peter Deibler, best known as Kane, of the syndicated “The Kane Show,” was arrested in Maryland on Friday after his soon-to-be ex-wife accused him of second-degree assault, according to court records reports The Washington Post. On Monday (June 20th,), Montgomery County District Judge William Simmons issued a 7temporary protective order related to the alleged assault, which took place on May 25, court records say. The temporary order bars Deiber from contacting his wife or entering the Potomac home where she lives.

Kane and his wife, Natasha Deibler have been locked in a nasty divorce, with many of its details being discussed both on his nationally syndicated show, which airs from HOT 99.5 FM in Rockville, and on his wife's personal blog. According to Natasha Deibler’s protective order petition, she said that on May 25, her husband grabbed her and threw her into a wall in the presence of the couple’s daughters, resulting in a sprained knee, head injury, bruises and a black eye. According to online records, Natasha Deibler accused him assault that same day. Last Friday Deibler posted a $3,500 bond and was released from custody.

“It’s an accusation that’s unfounded,” Peter Deibler said by phone of the assault charge. Yesterday he was absent from his show, but tweeted pictures of himself inside an elevator, where he claimed to be stuck and unable to get to work. “First day of summer, I have $500 to give away today at 7:45est…AND I’M STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR AND HAVE TO PEE!” he posted (right)

The Generational Divide Getting Larger Blogs Steve Goldstein

7

THE MOUTH, JUNE 21ST, 2016 –– In Steve Goldstein's last blog, he reports that new data shows that more Americans get their news from social media, than any other source (with apologies to ABC News for borrowing the phrase). The implications are profound if not yet totally clear as all of this has happened with great speed. Even a digital based news organization such as 7Buzzfeed, now sees 75% of its traffic originate from Facebook and other social sources. Recent data from Reuters vividly shows just how significant the differences are by each age demographic. While it is not surprising to see TV and newspaper losing dominance with younger groups, this data shows even 45-54 year-olds leaning to online news sources. This certainly was the impetus for a venerable old-school media company, The Tribune Company, to change its name this week. However the name TRONC, which is short for Tribune Online Content is unlikely to change much except generate a good chuckle over another goofy name for a company trying to finds its place in a rapidly altered media world.

A similar digital divide is occurring with audio. The rapid ascension of the smartphone has changed how many listen. Edison Research reports 68% of 13-34 year-olds listen to audio on their smartphones daily. That is a sea change from linear AM/FM listening to on-demand .. Without a direct conduit to consumers on their smartphones, many legacy media brands - not just newspaper companies - will be coming up with their own odd names to try and remain relevant. Steve Goldstein will be a featured presenter at MSBC with "The ABC'$ Of Podcasting" - set for August 11 & 12 Atlanta - READ BLOG HERE
