Radio Legend “The Fly Jock” Tom Joyner Announces His Retirement From Radio In 2020

EarHustle411 and the writing staff are excited but also saddened by the announcement the legendary radio personality Tom Joyner has made. He’s announced he will be retiring from radio in 2020. While most wondered when it was going to come but we certainly were not ready for this announcement.  Our team practically grew up with Tom Joyner on the airwaves.

Tom an activist, humanitarian and comedian in his own right made radio a much enjoyable medium for the people. Not only did Tom Joyner use his platform for the rights of blacks but for the rights of human beings all across the globe.

Radio will NEVER be the same without this magnificent voice on the air.

EarHustle411 will be riding along the journey with you Tom and we appreciate all that you’ve brought to our radio dials!!

We won’t say goodbye but here’s to GOOD RADIO!!

Every one who’s been on this ride with the Tom Joyner Morning Show for the last close to 25 years knows I like to do things Big.

We started big from day one with a live in-house band (Uncle Butchie and the Live House) led by the late Morris “Butch” Stewart and our inaugural guest Luther Vandross, a groundbreaking soap opera “It’s Your World”, and we grew from there.

We kicked off some signature, never been done before campaigns and events like the national Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day, Sky Shows and the Fantastic Voyage Cruise. We’ve never wavered from our original goal..to entertain, to empower and inform and for the next two years we’ll continue to fight the good fight for the causes important to our audiences…voter registration, policies that impact our community, and raising more than $65 million and counting for my beloved Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

As we take things to the next level, personally and professionally, we’ll be in celebration mode with more guests, more parties, and more opportunities to Meet Every Listener. 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, there’s still so much to do and I couldn’t do it without you. Do me a favor and be thinking of the acts and groups you’d like to see perform live, the guests you’d like us to book, the events you’d like us to cover and even the issues you’d like for us to address. Most importantly, send me your favorite moments and memories from the TJMS and we’ll try to go the vault and find them. We want to hear your TJMS stories. We might air them or include them in a blog. Extra points if you send photos or video.

Here’s my promise to you: We will continue to be reachable, relevant and ready to super serve our audience in true Tom Joyner Morning Show fashion. 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! Here’s to much more good radio!
