It’s the Tom Joyner Morning Show. If you love radio, than you know the words. Tom Joyner, 66, is being forced into retirement, according to The Daily Mail, after Radio One and his former business partner David Kantor linked up to put the plan in motion.
Sources say the decision was made for two reasons, 1. he is too old; and 2. President Obama is on his way out of the office.
Apparently, the plan kicked off in 2014, with the hopes that he would be done completely by 2016; the same time President Obama’s time from the White House ends.
“They felt that the end of Obama’s term would be the ideal time for him to also leave,” a source said.

“They think going with a younger, fresher show is the way to go and the entire plan has been orchestrated by the man who actually launched Tom into syndication originally,’ a source tells Daily Mail Online exclusively.
The Tom Joyner Morning Show, which launched in 1994 with ABC Radio Networks, made the host the first Black host in national syndication; the show featured funny co-hosts Sybil Wilkes and J. Anthony Brown. The Daily Mail reminds us that the show also became “the number one syndicated urban morning show and one of the most-successful syndicated shows in the history of radio.”
