Joyner Can See The Finish Line
Reach Media announced a two-year agreement that extends The Tom Joyner Morning Show in radio syndication through December 31, 2019 as he culminates his trailblazing career. The renewed agreement comes as Joyner prepares to mark his 25th year in syndication (#TJMS25). To commemorate that major career milestone, Joyner plans to launch a two-year-long celebration campaign, sharing events and experiences with his listeners highlighting the past, present and future of the Tom Joyner brand. Joyner will reveal more as his show moves forward with events and activities as a lead-up to the conclusion of his iconic morning show. In a brief video presentation, Joyner said, “I’m putting in my two-year notice!”
Joyner is pictured here, signing the paperwork with David Kantor, CEO of Reach Media and Radio One. Joyner said, “We’ve touched a lot of lives and we love and appreciate the millions of people who are part of the TJMS family. So much has happened since we went on the air in 1994… good and bad… and we all went through it together. Well, the Party with a Purpose isn’t over. The celebration will be epic as we remember the guests, the laughs, the tears, the bits, the unforgettable moments we’ve shared together… and, of course we’ll be making new memories along the way. When we go off the air each morning, I never say goodbye… and I’m not saying it now!”
Kantor remarked, “Tom has not only advanced radio and established new mediums to inspire people, but he’s brought change to our communities on an individual level. When he says ‘I’ve got an idea,’ he pursues it with a passion and everyone is better for it. He is the best business partner and friend I could ever have.” The Tom Joyner Morning Show is currently carried on over 95 affiliates and reaches more than 7.4 million listeners.
