CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After nearly four decades on Charlotte radio, “The Big Show with John Boy & Billy” will air its last episode on 99.7 The Fox on Friday, iHeartMedia confirmed to WCNC Charlotte.
Paired together since 1980, John Boy & Billy have been a staple on the Charlotte radio dial. Currently in syndication to nearly 50 stations nationwide, the show will not be heard again on Classic Rock “99.7 The Fox” WRFX after Friday.
