Radio One and WBT (News Talk 1110 & 99.3) have announced a new partnership with longtime Charlotte radio personality TJ Ritchie to launch "The TJ Ritchie Show," a live, two-hour evening program set to debut May 27. The program will air weeknights from 7-9pm ET. Known for his decades-long role on the syndicated Ace & TJ Show, now TJ & Riggins, Ritchie brings his signature wit, humor, and sharp commentary to the Talk outlet.

"This is something I've always wanted to do, and getting to do it on the legendary WBT is such a thrill," said Ritchie. "The timing is perfect because there are so many people who are just starting to become interested in the political landscape of our culture. Being 'America's Coolest Conservative,' I'll be able to engage them with a high energy, fun, and humorous show. It's going to be spectacular. All of that AND I get to keep my day job."

"TJ's history of compelling, hilarious and engaging radio combined with his commitment to advertisers' success speaks for itself," added Marsha Landess, General Manager of Radio One Charlotte. "Bringing him into the WBT and Radio One Charlotte family is a win-win for everyone. I am so pleased that The TJ Ritchie Show will have a home on WBT."

WBT Program Director Mike Schaefer added, "WBT's history of night-time programming boasts some of radio's biggest names - Bob Lacey, 'Hello' Henry Boggan, and 'Charlotte's Most Beloved,' John Hancock. When the opportunity to add TJ to that list presented itself, there was nothing to think about besides a start date. We are beyond excited for TJ to bring entertaining late, live, and local programming back to Charlotte on WBT."
