Ryan Chase is no longer part of Houston radio station 104.1 KRBE’s morning show; he abruptly left “The Roula & Ryan Show with Eric” in mid‑November 2025 after nearly 19 years on the station, but the exact reason has not been made public.

What actually happened?

Public reports say that Ryan Chase exited KRBE’s morning show suddenly in November 2025, ending a 19‑year run on the station and roughly a 23‑year on‑air partnership with co‑host Roula Christie. The station quickly updated its lineup and branding to remove his name, with the show continuing on air without him.

Roula Christie and producer Eric Rowe briefly addressed his departure on air, confirming he is no longer with the show but emphasizing that they “cannot” discuss personnel matters, calling the exit unplanned and saying they were in shock and would miss him. Local radio industry coverage and entertainment sites describe the move as abrupt, especially because the team had just signed a new five‑year contract extension earlier in 2025.

Why did he leave KRBE?

As of now, there is no confirmed public explanation for why Ryan Chase left KRBE. Co‑hosts have characterized it as a personal or personnel matter and have specifically said they cannot give more details, which suggests some internal or private issue that the parties are not disclosing.

Entertainment articles and social media commentary note the timing as surprising, pointing out that everything on air sounded normal shortly before he was gone and that the long‑term contract made the move even more unexpected. However, these pieces also stress that any theories about what happened are speculation, since neither Chase nor KRBE has publicly explained the decision.

Is he okay / what is he doing now?

Current coverage focuses mainly on the shake‑up to the show rather than on detailed updates about Ryan Chase’s next steps. There has been discussion of his long radio career (including earlier stints in New York and Dallas) and the impact his exit has on Houston’s morning‑show landscape, but no definitive announcement yet about a new on‑air role or project.

Fans and local media expect that he may eventually speak out or land somewhere else in radio or media, but until he or KRBE shares more, information about his future plans remains limited and uncertain.
