After decades paired together and in national syndication, The Big Show with John Boy & Billy is set to cease operations later this year.
The Premiere Network program is ending at the end of the calendar year, with John Boy Isley and Billy James ending their show together.
The duo have worked alongside each other since debuting in 1981 in mornings in Charlotte. They later hit national syndication in 1993, reaching more than 100 affiliates at its peak.
Currently, the morning show airs Monday through Saturday from 6-10 AM. It is heard on 37 stations.
The end of the show comes after the station departed its former flagship home — 99.7 The Fox in Charlotte — last year.
Neither of the two have commented publicly about the end of their program as of this publication.
