David Cannon and Ritchie Beams have been Ace and TJ since the early 90’s when – as the only two single guys on staff – the Louisiana natives were paired up for the first time on a local Top 40 station near their hometowns. They moved from nights to mornings, then on to Baton Rouge, then to stations in Huntsville and Birmingham in Alabama, before being hired to do a morning show in Charlotte. Ace & TJ were eight-time nominees for CHR "Personalities Of The Year", and now host a hilarious network show originating from there.
