Tom's Back in Chicago

Days after the Tom Joyner Morning Show was out in Chicago it was predicted that Crawford Broadcasting would move to land the show. Crawford Broadcasting owners of Soul 106.3 FM added the TJMS to it's line up to complete a win win situation.

Tom Joyner is a great talent and Crawford Broadcasting hopefully made the right move to help the struggling Soul 106.3 FM. In the recent past Steve Harvey was a part of Soul 106.3 and was cut after a year or so. The business of radio is to make money for the owners. Tom Joyner after being cut stated the reality of radio like this, It’s business, “If I were Clear Channel, I’d probably do exactly the same thing because you’re in business to stay in business and, strategically, it’s what they should have done.”

On the other hand Chicago the City of Big Shoulders claimed Tom as one of their own and stood up against the firing calling the station, writing to blogs, and threatening sponsors. Tom will forever be a part of Chicago radio history because of the early days days at WJPC and the Fly Jock days at WGCI.

Chicagoan's are whole again as Mr Joyner continues the TJMS on Soul 106.3 FM.
