It airs every Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time in New York City on the community radio station WBAI 99.5 FM. It is simulcast online via streaming MP3 and over shortwave radio by WBCQ at 7415 kHz. The show is also available as a podcast, although the show has been made available in this format long before that term was coined. In addition, Off the Hook is also rebroadcasted according to the following schedule:
- Wednesdays at 7 a.m. CET on radiOrakel 99.3 FM in Oslo, Norway
- Saturdays at 1 p.m. CST on WKUF 94.3 LPFM in Flint, Michigan
Off the Hook was first aired on Thursday, October 7, 1988 It was originally set to debut Friday, August 12, 1988, but there was a fire on the radio transmitter floor of the Empire State Building, forcing the radio show to be broadcast at a later date.
The theme song that opens every show is an excerpt from the song "Much Worse," performed by Big Audio Dynamite with Don Letts on vocals. The entire original song was played at the beginning of the second part of the May 12, 2004 show (link here).
During the time leading up to the millennium the show also used the song "Little Neutrino," performed by Klaatu for a segment on issues surrounding the Year 2000 problem.
