 END OF AN ERA:  TOM JOYNER RETIRES

(December 13, 2019) As you wake up today family, know you're witnessing the end of an era. It's hard to believe this day is finally here. After 25 years Tom Joyner is spending his final moments on the radio. 

Tom Joyner and Sybil Wilkes have been an interval part of my broadcast career for more than half of my adult life.  

Tom,  your connection to Mobile, Alabama will never be forgotten because of your dear departed brother, and my friend Al Joyner.  Morning radio will NEVER be the same. The TJMS shall forever be, "the ultimate party with a purpose!"  

Bravo Tom Joyner, you've been more than 'the Fly Jock," you've literally empowered and entertained a nation.

Happy Retirement and thanks for the ride of a lifetime!
