Is David 'Ace' Cannon Leaves 'The Ace & TJ Show?
Yes, David 'Ace' Cannon and Ritchie ‘TJ’ Beams, the long-time radio duo known as the "Ace & TJ Show," have officially parted ways after over 30 years on air. The announcement was made on social media, leaving fans curious about the reasons for their sudden split.
Starting Monday, September 23, a new show called "TJ & Riggins Show" will launch. The post promised that listeners can expect similar content and products as before, but with some changes.
Why Did Ace Leave The Ace and TJ Show?
The statement didn't explain why David 'Ace' Cannon and Ritchie ‘TJ’ Beams decided to split. Notably, Cannon wasn't allowed to announce his exit on air, which surprised many fans. Additionally, Cannon has been silent on social media, providing no clues about his departure.
Earlier this year, Cannon started hosting a solo afternoon show called “Ace & TJ Button” on their streaming platform, but it's unclear if he'll keep doing that now that he’s left the main morning show.
The Ace & TJ Show, a popular morning program from Charlotte, North Carolina, has a strong following in the Southern U.S. Cannon and Beams created unique on-air personalities that worked well together: Cannon, known as “the rock star,” shared his music knowledge, while Beams played the role of the typical radio host.

Over the years, they moved between various stations, including “Channel 96.1” WHQC in 2012 and back to WNKS in July 2022. Most recently, they settled at Beasley Classic Hits “K104.7” WKQC in May 2024. Their show is also broadcasted on other stations, including “Q103.1” WQNU in Louisville, KY, and several others across North Carolina, Missouri, South Carolina, and Virginia.
Who is the New Co-Host Now?
