Radio host David 'Ace' Cannon dies at 56

David "Ace" Cannon, a radio show host whose morning show captivated listeners in the southeast for 30 years, has died. He was 56.

Cannon's death was announced on Tuesday. HITS 96.1, an iHeartMedia station that Cannon was formerly featured on, said he was "an important part of so many people's lives, providing companionship and laughter to his many listeners and colleagues."

Cannon was one half of "The Ace & TJ Show," which he was involved with from 1993 to September 2024. The show aired in Louisiana and Alabama before the duo moved to Charlotte in 1998.

The comedy-talk show moved to various radio stations across its run but remained a staple on Charlotte airwave.
