Ace & TJ Come Home To WNKS
• After an 11-year absence, Beasley Media Group is pleased to welcome Ace & TJ back to WNKS (Kiss 95.1)/Charlotte.
Starting Monday, July 28, the Ace & TJ Family-syndicated Ace & TJ Anytime will be heard weekdays 9am-noon, following The MRL Show with Maney & LauRen. Beasley Charlotte will also become the official Charlotte digital home of The Ace & TJ Show (live from 6-9am and anytime on demand) via Kiss951.com.

“This may sound corny, but I’ve always had a feeling that someday we’d be back,” said TJ. “Being able to return in this new and exciting way is spectacular.” Ace added, “It’s great to be ‘home’ with people we started our career with and achieved so much success here in Charlotte but, more importantly, it’s special to be doing something so unique with a great company that will hopefully transform the way talent and companies work together.”
Ace & TJ famously spent 13 years in mornings on then-CBS Radio-owned Kiss 95.1 until May 2011, when they were unable to come to terms on a new contract. In early 2012 they relocated their syndicated show across the street to a new flagship, iHeartMedia rival WHQC (HITS 96.1), where it stayed until August 2021.
Kiss 95.1 PD Cameron Moore commented, “This is super-exciting as Kiss 95.1 will now have the biggest two brands in Charlotte Top 40 with Maney & LauRen, and Ace & TJ all in one place.”
The Ace & TJ Family has fully transformed all radio syndication deals to include daily geo-targeted digital inventory incorporating local clients into five platforms: radio, streaming, podcast, video and social/web/app. The Ace & TJ Show is also available to radio in three models: 1) live, 2) delayed/edited, and now, 3) digital-only content for radio syndication via The Radio Button for Classic/Adult Hits, Hot AC, Country, Top 40 and AC stations.
