Founder of REACH Media Inc., the Tom Joyner Foundation, BlackAmericaWeb.com, and host of the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, Tom Joyner Sr., is one of the most influential, inspirational, and dynamic personalities in the country.

A graduate of Tuskegee (Institute) University, Joyner began his broadcasting career in Montgomery, Alabama, at WRMA-AM. In the mid-80's Joyner made his claim to fame when he accepted simultaneous positions as "morning drive man" at Dallas' KKDA and "afternoon drive man" at Chicago's WGCI. Flying everyday between the two cities to work eventually earned him national recognition, as the "Fly Jock".
