- By

Tom Joyner

As the “hardest working man in radio,” Tom Joyner of “The Tom Joyner Morning Show” has one of the highest rated and most popular syndicated radio shows in the U.S. But Joyner did not get that title easily. Beginning his radio career in the late 1970s, Tom Joyner worked in Chicago before being offered two radio positions: one in Dallas and one in Chicago, in which he decided to take both, commuting between the two metropolitan cities daily for eight years before earning his own show in 1994. Hard work, dedication and taking full advantage of his opportunities makes Tom Joyner an innovator in the world of radio for African Americans today.
