Dave ‘Ace’ Cannon has issued his first statement since his recent unexpected departure from the syndicated “Ace & TJ Show.” (BMM 9/20)
He did not specifically address his departure from the show but gave insight into his personal life. He talked about going through a divorce and said he doesn’t know if he would “be a part of your life again the way I was for the past 26 years.”
Cannon posted a video to his Instagram account.
Cannon was replaced on the show by producer Bryan “Riggins” Weber and quickly rebranded as the “TJ & Riggins Show.”
In the wake of Cannon’s departure, the show lost its flagship affiliate, K 104.7, Charlotte.
Cannon and Ritchie ‘TJ’ Beams met while working part-time at KQID Alexandria, LA, in 1991 and later joined forces as morning show partners.
In 1995, they relocated to WZYP Huntsville, AL, before going to “Kiss 95.1” Charlotte in 1998. Despite various relocations, including a move to “Channel 96.1” in 2012, a return to WNKS in July 2022 to host from 9 am-12 pm, and a move to “K104.7” WKQC in May 2024, the show has remained a constant presence in the Charlotte market.
