DJ's
Steve Covino AKA "EL COVINO" AKA "EL HOMBRE" comes on every morning, 6 A.M.-11 A.M. Covino also teams up with Hits One DJ Rich Davis for The Covino and Rich Show afternoons noon to 3 on Sirius' Stars too Ch. 108 (Formerly Maxim Radio).
Kayla 11 AM to 4PM ET listeners are graced with New Jersey hard rock college radio DJ and former television traffic reporter Kayla. She also hosts the top 20 countdown each weekend. She can also be heard on Sirius's classic rock station "Classic Rewind"
Bodhi Weekdays 4 pm - 9 pm ET Bodhi was born in Columbus, Ohio, but Los Angeles is his home away from DC. A music and radio junkie as far back as he can remember, Bodhi spent most of his pre-adult life in front of the radio instead of the TV (nothing's changed there). Prior to joining the world of satellite radio, he's done everything from being a promotion intern to production to being on the air (thankfully he never had to dress up as the station mascot). He lives for the music played on Octane. If Bodhi isn't seeing the latest horror flick or watching football with a Bud-Light, he's usually trying to figure out a way to get to Rob Zombie's next concert.
Grant Random Weekdays 9 pm - 3 am ET A few things we don’t want you to know about Grant Random: he’s from a county outside of Chicago that's been declared the "trailer park capital of Illinois.” He didn't talk until he was 5 and subsequently almost flunked preschool. He has been employed as a Ruby Tuesday waiter, a public access television host, and a vacuum cleaner salesman. He is a product of the community college system. He has been arrested more than once. He owns all four seasons of Knight Rider on DVD. He has a strange fascination with yetis, alpacas, and ping pong. He hasn't legally driven a car since the 90's. He currently lives in a creepy basement.
Cane Cane was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and headed to the Big Apple after working at his local radio station. Fired at a NY station for oversleeping for an interview with Metallica, he was later fired at VH1 after he told Jennifer Lopez that she looked "cheap" on live TV. Her response: "Do you have any idea how much this dress cost?" He's a music and sports junky, whose resume includes hosting ESPN's Cold Pizza and playing the comic book store owner who lives with his parents on Sex and the City.
Programming
"Pump Your Own Octane" is a nightly countdown of the top five most requested songs. A weekly top twenty is broadcast on Sundays and repeated on Wednesdays.
Sirius XM Merger
As part of the Sirius XM Merger, DJs Bohdi and Grant Random were brought over from the now defunct XM station SquiZZ, as well as the Big 'Uns show, a countdown of the top 30 songs of the week on Saturdays at 2pm, Sundays at 1pm, and Wednesdays at 5pm (all times Eastern). This show was originally a top 10 countdown broadcasted only once a week.
