“Any stories that suggest major changes to the Tom Joyner Morning Show are inaccurate,” Reach Media, a subsidiary of Radio One, said in a statement. “Tom Joyner is under contract with Reach Media until the end of 2017. We expect that Reach will continue to syndicate Tom’s show beyond that date and for as long as he would like to be on the air.”

tom joynerThe Daily Mail story says Radio One plans to replace Joyner with syndicated host Russ Parr in Washington, DC and Baltimore in January 2016. And while Reach Media says it plans on sticking with Joyner for the long haul, it acknowledges that it might make some changes to the host’s market clearance map. “There has always been refinements and updates to the show as well as market changes due to local conditions, and there may be some in the future; but Tom Joyner and the Tom Joyner Morning show continues to be strong and is a daily Party with a Purpose,” the statement says. “Reach is committed to Tom Joyner for the long term who remains committed to radio, his audience and the future.”
